Welcome to our ever-evolving story about the VIE Beach House – A Show Home. We have been busily working on a year-long marketing and sponsorship program with the house debuting in Fall 2020.

This past October, Alaqua Animal Refuge Founder Laurie Hood traveled to Grand Bahama Island on a mission with Animal Wellness Action (AWA) to assess three farms and their surviving animals that were almost completely demolished by Hurricane Dorian back in August of this year.

With the year coming to a close and a new decade almost upon us, we couldn’t help but reminisce on the past year and all the incredible stories we’ve had the privilege of telling, people we have met, places we’ve visited, and milestones we’ve achieved.

Christmastime is here, and we’ve got the perfect holiday activity to get you in the festive spirit. The world’s largest Christmas light maze invites you to celebrate at their winter wonderlands in Washington DC, Seattle, or St. Petersburg, Florida, courtesy of Enchant Christmas.

With more than forty shops and ten cafés and restaurants, it’s the perfect holiday travel destination.

Alaqua Animal Refuge’s inaugural Animoré weekend was truly a festival to celebrate the love of animals. The 6th Annual 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner and the first-ever Barn Jam took place October 18 and 19 in Freeport, Florida, and raised over $1,100,000 to support Alaqua’s Capital Campaign, “Second Chances Start Here."
