The Harbour Lights Open house at St Augustine was last night.
There was a free lighthouse tour from 6:00 to 9:00
This was one of the few times you could climb the lighthouse at night.
Christmas music, cookies, cider and hot chocolate were provided.
The grounds were crowded with probably about 300 to 400 people.
Bill was all alone, Kim didn’t show up.
Bill gave away free ornaments and was there three hours to sign lighthouses and answer questions. The signing event was up on the second floor of the keepers house.
The drawings were free and no purchase nessacary They were done every half hour until the final drawing. At nine four valuable collectables were to be given away. They were: The Number “2” Sand Island, The Gold Golden gate bridge, The gold Three sisters and a number 4 Gold St Augustine event. The odds was in our favor. Only about 30 people present.
I Don’t know who the three golds went to but I know who won the number “2”

ME.

Congrats, Daniel!

Thanks for the report, too. Bill spill any secrets?

Way to go Daniel It sounds like it was a great time. Bill always has some great stories.

Daniel,

I'll trade you my 1254 for your 2.

Congrats, Daniel! If I had a choice of winning a gold piece or a flag #2, I think I'd take the flag #2. Not "2" many of those in the hands of private collectors.
