Shoppers will also see Mary Kay cosmetic products and Stamp-N-Up scapbooking and card making products as well as CAbi Fashions which features women's clothing."

Chef's Demonstration - September 16
1:30 p.m.

The new season of Chef's Demonstrations opens mid-September with Chef Lewie Mashburn in the spotlight.

"Everyone's excited about the Shrimp and Grits Festival coming up soon on Jekyll Island, and I'm one of them," says Chef Lewie. "So, for this demonstration, I'll be preparing two of my favorite shrimp recipes, 'Georgia White Coconut Shrimp with Lemon Peach Marmalade and of course, my very own recipe for 'Shrimp and Grits.' Although we don't talk about our grits as much as we talk about our Georgia shrimp, I'll be singing the praises of stone ground grits at this demonstration."

Chef Lewie advises guests to come with an appetite. Following the preparation of each course, he serves a very generous tasting. Confident that his shrimp dishes will be enjoyed, he also provides printed recipes for guests who want to prepare them at home.

Early reservations for this very popular event are encouraged.
