Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day! And, as its happens, I am working today…..in an effort to deliver an update of the effect of Hurricane Gustav on our community. We were fortunate to have moved “outside the cone” yesterday and have only felt small effects of the storm thus far – blustery winds, blowing sands and angry waves. We have had no rain.

The Eastern edge of Hurricane Gustav

High tide is at noon today and, hopefully, that will indicate to us the worst we can expect from Gustav. Each owner of a property in our community names their home. Some seemed especially appropriate today – “Prince of Tides” and “Just Another Day in Paradise.”

Many evacuees are seeking temporary shelter in our community and we wish them well!

Lodging available for Hurricane Gustav Evacuees

We know that people are evacuating Louisiana and may be looking for places to stay short term. Carillon Beach has lovely one bedroom luxury suites available to rent at the Carillon Beach Inn by the day, week, or longer, if needed. All units have a bedroom, bath, kitchenette, internet access, and living room with a queensize sleeper. Each unit has a balcony with a waterfront view. Also available, for weekly and longer rentals, are 3 bedroom luxury condominiums. Our Market Street has shops and restaurants adjacent to the inn. Please contact us at carillonbeachresort.com or toll free at 866-668-7803 for reservations or more information.

Summer Splash Cancellation

The Summer Splash event has been cancelled due to the possibility of imclimate weather over the Labor Day Weekend. We will be planning another event in lieu of the Summer Splash and will keep you posted when a decision is made regarding the new event.

As a sideline, we are excited to announce the opening of The Pottery Bar at 108 Market Street. It is a paint-your-own-pottery store. Come on in, meet the owner, Kathleen McNulty, and have a fun experience painting a piece of pottery for a special event or a decorative accessory. The article will be fired and ready to be picked up before you know it. The shop faces Market Street on the north side and opens to Lake Carillon on the south side – you can paint and enjoy a great view.
