🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL, TYBEE. 🚨 FIND THE HAWAIIAN SHIRT. LOCATE THE FLIP-FLOPS. PUT THE KIDS IN BATHING SUITS...UMM, NOT YET. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL AFTER SCHOOL (I don't need that phone call). Because TODAY IS THE DAY! This afternoon we're officially cutting the ribbon on the TYBEE TIDAL ZONE SPLASH PAD AT HOTEL TYBEE! And EVERYBODY is invited!
TODAY — THURSDAY, AUGUST 27
4:30 PM — Celebration begins
5:00 PM — THE BIG SNIP
Every child in attendance will want to hear the three golden words...GO GET WET!!!
Kids are welcome and bathing suits are HIGHLY encouraged. We're also asking everyone to wear their favorite tropical island attire because if we're going to have a ribbon cutting on Tybee Island, we're going to make it look like one.
There will be light refreshments, friends, neighbors, local leaders, families, plenty of laughs and one brand-new ribbon that's about to have a TERRIBLE afternoon.
And I have been told that technically the splash pad is for children. I have chosen not to investigate that statement any further. So come celebrate with us!
Bring the kids.
Bring Grandma.
Bring Grandpa.
Bring your neighbor.
Bring your neighbor's neighbor.
Bring that guy who has been wearing the same Hawaiian shirt to every Tybee event since 1997.
JUST GET HERE!
Hotel Tybee — 4:30 PM TODAY!
Let's pack the place, celebrate something GREAT for our island and officially welcome the Tybee Tidal Zone the only way we know how...WITH A BIG PAIR OF SCISSORS AND A WHOLE LOT OF WATER.
SEE YOU THIS AFTERNOON, TYBEE!
