You can almost hear the jazz music in the air. Next weekend Jekyll Island welcomes Bella Sera, Sunset Jazz Festival. We are all crossing our fingers that the weather we have been having recently will continue into that weekend. The days have peaked perfectly in the lower 70s. Also, there are still plenty of VIP tickets left for the VIP dinner and special seating Saturday night. Sesame chicken, burgundy beef, jumbo shrimp on ice, grilled salmon with wine sauce - sound delicious? Sign up to get your VIP meal tickets at www.jekyllisland.com/bellasera.
