ST. MARYS CELEBRATES HAY DAYS
As the days grow shorter, the leaves begin to turn the muted colors of red, gold, and orange and every lawn has great piles of endless falling leaves. The scent of burning foliage permeates the air and you can almost taste the spicy flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg on your tongue. Fall has once again come to St. Marys. We begin the celebration of the harvest season with our annual “Hay Days”. The fun filled family events will kick-off October 10th and continue through October 31st.
The amusement begins for kids of all ages with Build-A-Scarecrow. The first of the Hay Days events will take place at Orange Hall where a kit with everything you need to make the perfect Scarecrow will be available for $20. Just the right place for your unique Scarecrow will be selected downtown and there he or she will stand ready to welcome everyone downtown.
The quaint downtown district of St. Marys will be transformed into a beautiful fall display. Storefronts and historic homes emblazoned with pumpkins, scarecrows, hay bales and flowering potted mums will enhance the harvest season scene. Local businesses and organizations will be creating scarecrows to enhance the median of Osborne Street. Try to guess which Scarecrow goes with each business or group downtown along the Scarecrow Stroll on October 13th.
The annual festivities will continue by encouraging families to come to downtown in costume that evening to view the scarecrows, visit the merchants for special treats and participate in hay rides, movies and more all at no cost.
Hay Days is enjoyable for everyone, surely an event not to be missed. “In the South fall is slow to start. Hay Days invites fall into our downtown with all the traditions of pumpkins, scarecrows and fall colors”, said Alyce Thornhill, Director of the St. Marys Downtown Development Authority.
For more information on the St. Marys Hay Days Celebration, contact the St. Marys Downtown Development Authority, (912) 882-8111 or info@stmarysdda.com.

St. Marys Conference Room meets Federal Standards for Meeting Space
For the past three weeks the St. Marys Economic Development Conference Room has been the site of Captain John Scotts First Coast Maritime (FCM) licensing class. First Coast Maritime LLC offers quality maritime training and instruction for a variety of licenses issued by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). FCM has obtained USCG approval for the St. Marys Economic Development Center facilities, allowing licensing courses to be taught at the facility. Students are also tested at the site, and the diploma issued by FCM for successful completion of a program may be submitted to the USCG to obtain certain licenses. FCM offers courses from the basic Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel certification – commonly referred to as a “six pack license” to more advanced professional maritime licenses and training. With class schedules of up to two weeks, the students attending classes with FCM make a substantial contribution to the local economy. The company also offers post military career counseling for active duty members of the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, demonstrating how the active duty sea service can be used in the Merchant Marine setting, from service on commercial ships to operating a small fishing charter.
Captain Scott had these words to share about the conference facility available through city. “When you are in need of a meeting facility for your business, there are two main challenges: finding the right facility to meet your specific needs and finding the best establishment and professional staff to work with. St. Marys Economic Development Center has become our anchor to the successful execution of conducting USCG Federal Licensing classes.”
Alyce Thornhill, Director of Economic Development agrees that this is an asset to our City. Leasing the conference room not only brings funds into the city it also keeps activity in our Downtown; these students support local businesses on breaks during the long sessions. “It is an initiative of our Economic Development Committee to attract and recruit more opportunities like this for the conference space, our room will easily hold 50 people and has all the amenities for hosting conferences, classes, workshops and planning sessions. For more information please contact St Marys Economic Development Department, 912-882-8111, www.stmarysdda.com

Updates on our Local Sea Turtles

*Nest excavation schedule. I am sorry to report that although I am sure there are some there have been
no postings on the Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch's website in at least a week and I have not received
any word from any of my sources there. So all I have to report is Ft. Clinch
*Fort Clinch State Park Saturday Morning:
Nest 15 will be excavated at 7:45am in the park. The nest is located on the Ocean side just South of the Beach Access Boardwalk.
Immediately afterward (as long as it takes to drive up there) will be nest 18 which surprised us by hatching early. It is located just East of the Fort itself. Access by going into the dirt parking lot just before you get into the main parking lot at the Fort.
This means that we will only have nests around and west of the pier and on the ocean front left to hatch, but we do have at least 8 left to go. 16 is overdue and of concern since it was pilled up with about a foot of new sand after that last high water with Bill. 10 and 11 were probably never nests so we will excavate them over the weekend sometime just to see. Those two turtles crawled all over each other one night and we thought that they had layed but nothing seems to have happened so at 70 days we will just dig in to it to find out.
