Useppa Island Celebrates Independence Day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!!!

And, what better place to celebrate than Useppa Island?!?!  And, what an absolutely gorgeous day it was!  12 knot breezes, balmy-to-hot but, in the right spots.....pure heaven!
                            
Useppa Island residents were in full spirit and had flags proudly displayed all over  the island!

Tables were decorated....

And....so were the people!!

The entertainment was fantastic!! "Clive Live" and his electronic accompaniment  was, unbelievably, Sydney Houston, one minute and Satchmo, the next!                  

Kids were everywhere, the pool was jammed...                        

.....and every one was jamming!  

A super day!  A great party!  Music, laughter, hamburgers and hot dogs, friends and family.
And, flags flying everywhere.  It made us all appreciate just how lucky we are...to be here and to share our good fortune and celebrate
INDEPENDENCE DAY! 

It was quintessential Useppa! Plan on joining us next year.  We missed you!

Celebrating Memorial Day Weekend at Useppa Island

AAA is predicting more than 36 million Americans to travel for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, and we couldn't think of a better way to avoid the traffic and chaos than to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Useppa Island.

The  Useppa Island Club does a great job of celebrating the holiday weekend and has the below events planned for the entire family. On Saturday, kids won’t want to miss the Isaak Walton kids fishing tournament. A longstanding tradition sure to bring smiles to all involved. 

But don't worry, those looking for something a little less structured, kayaking, boating and a hammock are always waiting for anyone to use. 

No matter what you do, remember to take a few minutes and honor those that serve or served in our Armed Forces and appreciate everything and everyone around you.

From our family to yours, have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend!
