Throughout October, the St. Armands Circle Association is planning four events.

The displayed automobiles will be judged in a variety of classes. Special recognitions and club winners will be announced after 3 p.m. and official trophies will be presented during an awards dinner later.

A few days later, on Thursday Oct. 18 is the monthly St. Armands Circle Ladies Night. From 5 to 9 p.m, women can enjoy 15% off discounts, raffle prizes and refreshments at participating stores and restaurants.

That weekend, the St. Armands Boat Show, sponsored by Cannons Marina of Longboat Key, will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both Saturday, Oct. 20 and Sunday, Oct. 21.

The free event will showcase the newest models from Grady-White Boats and Yamaha Outboards.

Cannons Marina employees will be on hand to answer questions.
