This event is open to the general public and will be a great opportunity to mingle with the cast and crew of Starship Farragut, as well as other fans and enthusiasts from all over the country and be among the first to see Farragut Films' new soundstage and sets. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony with VIPs of the Historic St. Marys' community and set tours of the Starship Farragut. Attendees will be able to stand in the transporter room, sit in the Captain's chair or at the Helm/Navigation console, climb aboard the shuttlecraft, walk into a turbolift, and sneak into the Captain's quarters. There will be photo opportunities and autographs with the actors, so bring your cameras. Refreshments will be available for a nominal donation to help defray costs.
In addition to the media and press being at the event, we have confirmed attendance of Star Trek celebrity, Leslie Hoffman.

For anyone traveling to St. Marys from out of the area, there are many local accommodations that are very reasonably priced including some very clean and comfortable cabins at Crooked River State Park, which is only five miles away from the studio where the open house is being held. If you prefer to stay in a hotel, there are numerous comfortable, affordable places in St. Marys and Kingsland all within a ten mile radius of the studio's location.

MIZ MAC is Here!
MIZ MAC is now providing her Top Secret Gourmet products to Amelia Island at Susi Snaks n' Stuff! Since 1996 these World Famous Top Secret Cookies are an "original" recipe from the creator - Miz Mac! The Florida Cracker Candy has people asking for More! It has been a pleasure to see time and time again these cookies & cracker candy speak for themselves. People just can't get enough of them. Maybe it's the secert blend of ingredients or maybe it's the Southern tradition of adding the extra ingredient of love. Perhaps it is found in Mis Mac's commitment to GIVING BACK to charities that need our help. Personally, we think it is a combination of all of these things!
