Ahhhhh...smooth seas, gorgeous sunsets and the Caribbean in the winter, there's not a better way to chase away the bad weather blahs!  Travelers with Hometown Radio's "Steve and Janet" cruise enjoyed a wonderful week of fun in the sun with stops in Nassau and Freeport, Bahamas and Key West.  Re-live some special moments of the trip with our photo gallery.

Bad weather caused the postponement of  a surprise birthday party for Hometown Radio General Manager, Scottie Earls 3 times.  Finally the sun came out and so did the well-wishers for Mrs. Earls belated party.  A delicious cajun themed lunch of seafood gumbo and muffalata sandwiches, along with red velvet cupcakes, prepared by Carefree Catering,  was enjoyed by the birthday girl, radio station emplyees and friends.
