Hi Folks,
Well sometimes it goes weeks and I don't submit a blog and today I have three! Oh well, I guess that means I have been busy.
I joined the Horticulturist Society on Saturday and am so glad I did! This month's meeting was focused on Orchids. We had a guest speaker from Nassau who has been growing orchids for about 20 years. He did a demonstration on separating and re potting.
Members bring a potted plan to the meeting and at the end of the meeting the plants are auctioned off to other members. The Orchids that our guest speaker brought over were auctioned off as well. I walked away with a gorgeous and unique bromeliad that a member brought and also an orchid.
I will enjoy being a member of this society. It gives me a chance to meet and mingle with locals as well as people who have purchased real estate here in Abaco. Together we are making our yards beautiful!

Report on the MOW Flea Market
Well the Flea Market was Saturday past, and it turned out to be quiet a success for the Man-O-War All Age School as usual. I did show real estate on Saturday so I missed most of it, but all of my reports were the same. People enjoyed a variety of food, and games, and there were some fantastic items from 'The Pantry'. 'The Pantry' always has a table that is just filled with homemade jellies, jams, cheese spreads, delicious cakes and cheeses and so much more. There were quiet a few art tables and jewelery tables as well as the peopel who were just selling used items.
I heard that the ferries may have brought over as many as 500 people, and that's besides the sail boaters, and people who showed up from the surrounding Cays on their private boats. I would venture to say that this is one of the biggest annual events in Abaco. If you've never been, please plan to come and attend next year!

Developement at Schooner Bay
Last week Wednesday members of the Coldwell Banker Team toured Schooner Bay, and what a lovely day it was.
We toured by bus, and stopped and walked around at a few special locations. We all were excited about this development as it will be a community. Not an exclusive resort, but a place that will have shops restaurants, offices, and more, and all open to the general public. There is even a reserved location that is designated for a school.
I am happy that they are an eco-friendly development and are going to great lengths to remove the invasive plants that are on the property and replace them with plants that are friendly to our environment and will help hold the beach dunes in place, and prevent erosion.
They also have a large number of acres leased from government that will be available to property owners to farm on. This is an awesome feature in my opinion.
There are many more details to this fantastic development, such as the beaches, the harbour, the special island and more, so please email me a mailin@coldwellbankerbahamas.com to learn more.

MOW Annual Flea Market
It's that time of the year again! That's right the annual flea market held by the Man-O-War All Age School. This is always held near the MOW Marina property. Locals from all over Abaco and visitors a like look forward to this event every year. People start asking from December if I know what date the Flea market is set for next year? lol. This event generally draws several hundred people.
There are lots of tables set up with people selling off items... art, dinners, conch salad, fruit preserves, desserts, items that they just don't need anymore. Remember one man's junk is another man's treasure. Of course there are games for the kids such as take a chance, raffle, and even sojer crab races most of time!
This is the big fund raiser for the Man-O-War All Age School. It seems that for the last 7 - 8 years I've missed the majority of the event as I always have to show property that Saturday, but I do my part and have someone pick up a few items for me and buy a few raffle tickets.
If you're in Abaco, please come on out and support the school. You can catch the 10:30am ferry from Marsh Harbour to Man-O-War and there are ferries going back to Marsh Harbour through out the day.

Man-O-War Hertitage Day- called Sojer Day!
Man-O-War Cay is having its first Heritage day on April 4th. We are calling this event Sojer Day, since Man-O-War people are nick named 'Sojers'.
We will have items from our grandparents and great grandparents era on display in several of the old homes that are still around. There will be food, arts and crafts, games, old pictures, and more.
I am on the committee and I can tell you that the team that is working on putting this day together is very enthused and committed to making this day a big success.
I will be posting more details as the much anticipated event draws near. Just remember to save the day of April 4th so that you can join us on this family fun occasion!
