We Are Open Christmas Day

The Anna Maria General Store will be open on Christmas Day from 10am - 4pm for all your last minute holiday needs. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone!

We're all ready for the Holidays!

We'd like to introduce Penny and Percy, our new resident Holiday Penguins, and our store Elf Doug. Happy Holidays!

The First Ever Sun Powered Christmas Tree (possibly in the world!)

Take a simple solar panel, generating 175 W of energy, 5 hours of sunshine, a bunch of 24 volt batteries, an invertor, 1 Christmas Tree and set of lights, and what do you get...



The first ever Zero Energy, Sun Powered Christmas Tree. Go take a look at this fantastic tree, truly the greenest you will ever find at the site of the Historic Green Vilage on Pine Avenue. Fantastic!

Tom Stockebrand is the solar expert for the Green Village development, and here's some pictures of him setting up the tree.

Santa Arrives!

Congratulations to the Anna Maria Island Privateers for an awesome Christmas Parade today and everyone that took part! And, welcome to Santa too. What a great day!
