Join as a Survivor or Caregiver
Relay For Life events offer an opportunity to be part of one of the largest cancer support networks in the world. If you are a survivor or caregiver, you are invited to join the Relay For Life movement, where you will be supported by all participants.
Luminaria
Relay For Life participants and donors remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those battling the disease by dedicating luminaria.
Luminaria, paper bags containing votive candles, are transformed and illuminated after dark at every local Relay For Life event. Each luminaria is personalized with a name, photo, message or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer. Luminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant. Each luminaria candle represents a person. They are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, coworkers, and so many others.
Remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those battling the disease by dedicating a luminaria bag.
St. Marys, GA – In a brand new adventure created for St. Marys Express, pirates from the Fernandina Pirate Club will take part in the May 16 & 23 Pirate Express Rides in St. Marys. Trains depart Theater by the Trax at 10 am, noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm each day, taking passengers on a journey through picturesque woodlands and marshlands with entertainment all along the way.
Kids from 2 to 92 will enjoy the antics of the rascally pirates roaming the train. At the Midway stage, more mayhem ensues as the pirates invade Tortuga and bring a new adventure to life. Cannon shots and a life-sized pirate ship round out the day’s adventure. “The Pirate Club of Fernandina adds a new element of fun to our train rides,” said Barbara Ryan, entertainment director for St. Marys Express. “Passengers will be enchanted by these highly experienced mateys and wenches.”
Ryan went on to say that special appearances by such infamous pirates as Captain Hook and Blackbeard are on the slate as well.
“More and more we are seeing our train riders come in early or stay later with overnight stays at our charming bed and breakfasts and historic inns,” Ryan continued. “What’s more interesting is the fact that we have so many repeat riders since every excursion offers a different theme.”
“The St. Marys Express train rides are giving people who have never come to St. Marys a reason to visit,” St. Marys Tourism Director Angela Wigger said. “This gives us an opportunity to introduce a whole new market to our other destination assets including Cumberland Island, our museums, our waterfront park and the many historic features of our town.” St. Marys is enjoying much recent acclaim with high ratings in the areas of desirable destinations and great places to live, according to Wigger.
The Pirate Express departs from Theater by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Street in St. Marys, at 10 am, noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm on May 16 and 23. Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for children 12 and under. Children two and under ride free. Tickets can be purchased at www.stmarysrailroad.com or by calling 912-200-5235. Special group discounts are available for groups of ten or more by calling 912-729-1103.
Future St. Marys Express excursions slated for this year include America’s Birthday Express, Railroad Days, Halloween Express, and Santa Express. A complete train schedule can be found at www.stmarysrailroad.com.
Avast ye, the Fernandina Pirates Club, Inc. is hosting a pancake breakfast on Saturday, September 6, 2014. Held at the Applebee’s Restaurant in Fernandina Beach, from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., costumed Pirate members will raise funds and increase awareness for the Fernandina Pirate’s community blood drives and the inaugural multi-genre festival, Amelia Con.
Join the Pirates for a fun-filled day by starting it off with filling rations of flapjacks, pork products, stirred eggs, coffee and juice for the incredibly low price of ten Sacagaweas or $10.00 per person. Gather ye crew of youngsters, and the young at heart landlubbers, and treat them to a Jolly Roger good time at Applebee’s, found at the corner of Sadler Road and 8th Street, Amelia Island, savvy? Tickets may be pillaged from Pirate members prior to the event or at the door.
Fernandina Pirates hold monthly blood drives where they suggest you “donate a pint before they spill one for you.” The pirates have two Amelia Island donation sites, alternating monthly: the Loop Restaurant parking lot and the Fernandina Beach Market Place farmers market on N. 7th Street in historic, downtown. You have the most precious resource of all – the ability to save a life by donating blood. Help share this invaluable gift with someone in need and donate with the Pirates on September 6th at the farmers’ market from 9:00 to 1:30 p.m.
Amelia Con also takes place on September 6th, at the Fernandina Beach Recreation Center and the Woman’s Club of Fernandina Beach. A family friendly event, the convention will come alive with Pirates and other costumed players and fans celebrating their favorite shows, books and games. Tickets are $12.00.
