As the summer heats up here in July in the Panhandle there are ways to keep cool, as well as cool ways to keep entertained. Seems there are lots of events that include keeping hydrated via sipping beverages!
Lost in Space is the event to bring your friends, grab a drink, and get lost under the stars. While sipping a cocktail or beer and nibbling on appetizers you can engage in this planetarium show of science, mythology, adventure, and unrequited love while learning the nature of our celestial realm. Mark your calendar for July 30 for Sip & Science: Lost in Space at the Emerald Coast Science Center in Fort Walton Beach. Space is limited. So reserve tickets. For details ecscience.org/events or call 850-664-1261.
Making its premiere in Pensacola in July at The Gordon Community Arts Center, The Revolutionists play is set during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. Comedic, yet moving, this tale is about four women who historically existed in the same time and place but never met. While taking place almost 230 years ago, many of the issues remain relevant today. Performances are Thursday through Sunday, July 21-July 24 More information is at penarts.org
