..AND YOU THOUGHT SEPTEMBER WAS A SLOW MONTH?!
- The 4th annual Conchtoberfest Nights & Poker Run is just around the corner, and we have some exciting parties planned for our locals and visitors throughout the Florida Keys! These parties are intended to provide a fun atmosphere for our members, locals, and visitors alike while showcasing some great local restaurants. Each “Night” will be at a different location in Marathon and will feature a special themed party. Each host will also partner with a local charitable organization to co-host each party. Each ConchtoberFest Nights party will be unique and feature specials on drinks and food. New this year is our very own Poker Run where players will try to get their best five-card stud hand to win great prizes; so be sure to attend each night in order to complete your poker hand!
