Delray Beach, Florida, Elvis, Gallery Walk, Shark Feeding, South Florida, Palm Beach County, Activities, Events, 9/9/10 – 9/12/10

I have not visited this Village by the Sea that I like so much in a few months.  Why am I leaving the beautiful September weather, here at the Delaware beaches?  In the Spring there was a fire in my townhouse and renovations have been going on.

What’s happening in Delray this week-end?  Delray is always full of activities and events; not just in the winter.

Here it goes:

Thursday, 9/9, Friday, 9/10 and Saturday, 9/11 – Shark Feeding at 10:30 a.m. at the Sandoway House Nature Center, located at 142 South Ocean Blvd., 2 blocks south from the corner of Atlantic Ave. and A1A.

Thursday, 9/9 – This is Shelley’s favorite one.  Scott Ringersen’s tribute show called “The Elvis Experience”.  Two shows at 7:30 p.m., and 9:30 p.m.  The show takes place every Thursday at Johnnie Browns, located on 301- E. Atlantic Ave., Tel. 561-243-9911.  This restaurant is known for burgers, wings, ribs and classic rock.

Scott Ringersen’s was a Delray Beach police officer.  I am not sure if he still is, though.  He attracts big crowds on Thursday evenings; a lot of regulars.

On Friday and Saturday it’s Rock’n Roll’n Ribs at Johnnie Browns.  Friday Ryan & The Rockers will be performing and on Saturday The Flyers will be the performers.  On both days the performances start at 9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.

Friday, 9/10 – Gallery Walk, every Friday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.  The galleries of the downtown Delray Beach Gallery District open their doors for a Gallery Walk.  Wine and cheese will be served at participating galleries.  There are over 15 galleries opening their doors on Fridays.

Saturday, 9/11 – Village Arts Mart Summer Market from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on 115 NE 4th Ave., in Delray Beach.  This is an open air market featuring lcoal artists, crafters, and garden fresh/organic produce and gourmet food.

At the Cornell Museum of Art & American Culture

Until September 25th – Stuff II:  The Joy of Collecting.  The first Stuff Exhibit was so popular that they decided to create Part II.  Approximately 50 area collectors loaned their treasured items to this exhibit.  Wonderful stories accompany many of the collections.

Additionally, they have a special collection of 1975 photographs of Julia Child on loan from the photographer, Albie Walton.  The photos were shot for her book “From Julia Child’s Kitchen”.

Also until September 25th will be Masterworks: Photography by Jeremiah Jenner.  His signature is defined by crisp colors, bold shapes and sophisticated composition.  His sleek and minimalistic limited editions are popular with serious art collectors.

The Cornell Museum of Art & American Culture is located at the Old School Square on the NE corner of Atlantic Ave. & Swinton.  Please check their website for more info. www.oldschool.org.
