Guests are welcome to bring a chair and relax on the grounds as the color of the sky goes from watercolor hues to evening blues and the first evening star appears.

This month’s moon is known as the Corn Moon. “This time of year—late summer into early fall—corresponds with the time of harvesting corn in much of the United States. For this reason, a number of Native American peoples traditionally used some variation of the name “Corn Moon” to refer to the Moon of September. Examples include Corn Maker Moon (Western Abenaki) and Corn Harvest Moon (Dakota)” (Credit: The Old Farmer’s Almanac).

This special after-hours event invites visitors to enjoy the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as the golden sun sets below the horizon and the Hunter’s Moon or Harvest Moon rises.

This month’s moon is traditionally known as the Hunter’s Moon. This year it is also the Harvest Moon. It is called the Hunter’s Moon because “this is the month when game is fattening up for winter. Now is the time for hunting and laying in a store of provisions for the long months ahead. The full Moon that happens nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon.” Unlike other full Moons, this full Moon rises at nearly the same time—around sunset—for several evenings in a row, giving farmers several extra evenings of moonlight and allowing them to finish their harvests before the frosts of fall arrive.” (Credit: The Old Farmer’s Almanac).
