TASTE OF IRB

Let the Good Food Roll

What is it that makes Indian Rocks Beach Indian Rocks Beach? A beautiful beach. Interesting people. Great businesses--including some of the finest restaurants anywhere.

This Saturday, November 8th, everyone will, once again, get a chance to sample the best IRB has to offer at the "Taste of IRB" presented by the IRB Homeowners Association. Admission is FREE.

The festivities get underway in Chic-A-Si Park (across from the Post Office) around 5 p.m. and last until 10 p.m. so bring lawn chairs and blankets (NO coolers or dogs!) and plan to spend the evening.

A special thanks to the local businesses, who even in these challenging economic times, came through to support this event...one the entire community looks forward to.

Parking: Munce Marketing parking lot (Walsingham & 2nd Street), the vacant lot on 1st Street next to the Fire Dept, and the IRB Post Office parking lot. (Or, you can always jump on the Beach Trolley.)

I’ve never been to an IRB Homeowners Association event yet that wasn’t a blast. Plus, all the proceeds from beer sales, etc. go back to the community. Contrary to what some have unfairly termed as "a drinking club that moves from bar to bar," the Homeowners Association holds events that bring our folks together (in bipartisan fashion) to have fun and just enjoy one another's company. Phil Wrobel and Becky Griffin, the "driving forces" behind the "Taste of IRB" and many other successful community events, do more than any others in town to draw residents from surrounding communities into IRB to support our businesses and to experience what we, as IRBers, enjoy every day. Kudos to both of them for the personal time they spend making IRB a better place. (And yes, these two are fun people and know how to make sure others have fun, too...which is a real talent!)

P.S. I, who have never draw a beer from a tap or served anybody anything for that matter, will be there selling beer from 8 to 9...so don't wear anything you value. See you there!!

GREAT EVENT, LOTS OF FUN, GREAT FOOD, who could ask for more? Well I have a question where were all our elected officials? It wouldve been nice to see more than one elected official of Indian Rocks Beach attend this event! I saw many former Mayors and Commissioners but only one current, what is wrong with these people? Is it because this is not a beach event, or library event? Is it because its associated with the IRB HOA and fun?? For the record the IRB HOA has taken a great turn under the current direction of its Prez, Phil Wrobel. I know it has been tagged as a drinking club and Wrobel has been accused of kickbacks from those participating in the happy hours, nothing can be further from the truth.
Thanks for another great event!
