Dec 09, 2020

Along the Manatee River, beautiful Bradenton sparkles with festive cheer around the holidays. From cookie decorating with Santa to a Christmas glow run, there are so many fun events to take part in this season, whether with your grandkids, your friends, or even by yourself! Check out all of the festive, family-friendly fun that awaits around your new single-family home or villa home at Watercolor Place:

 

Through January 3: Holiday Village at Ellenton Premium Outlets

 

Experience the fun of a classic carnival with your grandkids! Join the festivities at the Holiday Village outside Ellenton Premium Outlets, where there will be carnival rides, games, food, and a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve. There will also be hand-washing stations and hand sanitizer throughout the carnival for added safety. 

 

December 9-20: UTC Holiday Lights Show

 

Why not add a little magic to your holiday shopping? Every half hour between 6:30 and 9 PM, the Mall at University Town Center will host a dazzling light show outside on the East Grand Entrance (near Kona Grill and Urban Outfitters). In between shopping for gifts, make sure to head outside to enjoy the twinkling lights and merriment with family and friends. 

 

December 11: Cookie Decorating With Santa

 

Indulge in sweet treats with your grandkids! Santa will make a visit to Wellspring Community Church to pose for photos and join in on the cookie decorating festivities. Reserve for a ticket for each of your grandkids and enjoy the fun of spreading holiday cheer while creating something delicious to take home. 

 

December 12: Parrish Hometown Christmas 

 

There’s nothing like enjoying cozy holiday fun with friends and neighbors. This cheerful, family-friendly event will include a breakfast with Santa from 10 AM to 12 PM, as well as food and drinks from the Subz n Grubz food truck, Kona ice, Christmas music and carolers, decorated trees, kids crafts, photos ops, and even a snow slide from 12 to 4 PM!

 

December 18: The Christmas Child - Virtual Painting

 

Curl up on the couch with a warm drink and a cozy blanket as you participate in a fun, creative virtual workshop hosted by Painting With a Twist. Show off your artistic side and get painting instructions via Zoom party! Once you register, you will pick up your paint kit and receive Zoom instructions so you can create your masterpiece. (BYO festive drinks and snacks!)

 

December 19: Sarasota Christmas Glow Run

 

Enjoy a workout surrounded by festive fun! From 6 to 8 PM, you can run or walk through the Christmas-themed course filled with decorations, music, and a spirited atmosphere the whole way. Complimentary glow products are included with registration! Plus, there may be a pretty snowfall waiting for you at the finish…

 

December 23: Merry at the Modern

 

Celebrate the season at the Sarasota Modern hotel from 4 to 7 PM, where holiday treats, themed drinks, and wine tastings will be enjoyed by all. There will also be live music, raffles, an ugly sweater contest, and a surprise visit from Santa for the little ones! Donate a toy or socks and a sweater for free admission.

 

December 31: New Year’s Eve at the Westin Sarasota

 

2021 is just ahead — celebrate the new year with a Titanic-themed bash aboard The Westin Sarasota Star Line! Dress up and enjoy a first-class, four-course dining experience with the finest wines along your travels. There will be live music and dancing, as well as a party on the upper deck with an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a DJ for the final countdown to 2021.

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
