Patch Minute: World Beer Festival, Johns Pass, Chili Cookoff

We have food, drinks, entertainment and more in this week's Patch Minute!

The Beaches

If you haven't already, be sure to spend a day at Johns Pass at Madiera Beach! Johns Pass has more than 100 merchants including unique stores, the allegator attraction, several restaurants and local fishing and dolphin watching tours. And there's plenty to keep the kids busy - hop on a pirate ship, rent a waverunner or just let them hang out in the new arcade.
