The South Florida Garlic Fest opened 23 years ago for a small celebration of food, community and family fun. The event has blossomed into an exhilarating tourist attraction that has seen over 4 million attendees and is recognized as one of the great food fairs, packed with gourmet food prepared by restaurant chefs, live music and refreshing beverages. It’s one of the few places where you can sample garlic-ginger bacon, feast on garlic Argentinian barbecue and finish with garlic ice cream.
“The Best Stinkin’ Party in South Florida” takes place this year at Village Park Athletics Complex in Wellington on Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Garlic Fest has raised more than $620,000 for local nonprofit organizations, six of which are staffing the 2022 festival. The event involves more than 200 volunteers, several full-time personnel and over 25 contractors. President and Executive Director Nancy Stewart describes the Garlic Fest team as relentless, resilient and passionate. The road to Garlic Fest success has not been smooth. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma wiped out the town of Delray. Debris was everywhere, and power was out for 17 days. But the power returned three days before the event, and Garlic Fest opened to the community. COVID-19 forced the 2021 event to relocate to Wellington Green Park with extensive safety regulations. “We like to joke about what our slogan should be since we’re always on the move: ‘Garlic Fest, coming to a city near you soon,’” Stewart said. The event has received dozens of international awards and been featured on the Food Network program “Unwrapped.” “We try to keep the menu the same each year, so people can come back and satisfy their garlicky food cravings,” Stewart said. New this year is a free kids zone with bounce houses, human foosball, cornhole and more activities for children while their parents indulge in gourmet food and drinks. The music lineup features Bradley Brown, The Kinected, Red Not Chili Peppers, Better Than Ezra, Fabulous

By Sharon Penn Palms West Journal
Palm Beach State College’s human services department has graduated its first class, five people determined to make life better for those dealing with substance abuse, behavior disorders or mental illnesses. Professor Suzanne Duff,
who chairs the department, said the most rewarding aspect of her job is watching people transform their struggles into a positive force. “These students are examples of people who have decided to use them to connect deeply with others and bring forth good and healing into the world.” Each of the graduates has their
own story about how they were led to pursue a degree in Human Services: David Oppenheim said he battled an addiction to opioids, including heroin, from age 18 to 28. Now recovered, he wants to help others overcome similar struggles. Destiny Gibbons shares her plans to help others who
battle addiction, as it is something that has affected several members of her family. Jamie Miller has dreams of becoming a mental health counselor. She speaks of being bullied from a young age and plans to help those affected. Lady Funcke wants to help people that are getting out of prison. She has gone through
her own challenges after being released from prison and wants to alleviate similar challenges for others. Theresa Tripucka struggled with substance abuse alongside her husband. Now that she has beat her addiction, she wants to assist others in finding a healthy, substancefree life. Each person from this graduating class has plans to develop their skills further and use their expertise for the greater good of others. The new bachelor of science degree in human services, offered at the Palm Beach State College Lake Worth campus, prepares students to treat people in need. Students learn to assess people with disabilities, substance abuse disorders or mental illness. Graduates pursue professions working with children, families and senior citizens. Palm Beach State’s Lake Worth campus sits on 114 acres at 4200 Congress Ave. and is the college’s largest and oldest campus. It serves over 30,000 students annually. The campus is home to the Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College, Panthers sports teams and the Duncan Theatre and features an educational and information resource center for Palm Beach County immigrants. For further information about the human services degree, contact Don Gladney at 561-868-4132 or gladneyd@ palmbeachstate.edu.

the beer since the launch, and each brew brought the goal to make it better. Stormhouse is known for delivering perfectly crafted beers with a twist. “We try to have fun and be creative with our beers,” said Brinzo. “We took our traditional German hefeweizen and added a fresh strawberry puree to half of the batch. It’s called Golden Sunrise, and it’s really, really good.” Stormhouse’s grand opening took place in the middle of the pandemic, and the brewpub has made community and employee safety a priority. Anyone not feeling well stays home until testing negative for COVID-19. Brinzo also strives to create a welcoming environment for his employees, sitting with them after closing to see whether they have suggestions for improving operations. “I want every employee we have to feel like they’re
part of a family. They should feel like they’re valued and that their opinions matter because they do. They’re playing a huge role in our success too,” said Brinzo. Stormhouse Brewing holds events to bring the community together, including happy hour daily, Tuesday bingo night, Wednesday trivia night and live music weekends. “Stormhouse is about creating the most inviting South Florida-focused brewery,” Brinzo said. “We strive to fit into the community as a place that people can come and enjoy, whether you’re by yourself, in a large group or holding an event. Every day we try to create the best customer service, the best food and the best beer. I want you to come back and be able to experience something new the next time.” For more information, visit stormhousebrewing.com.

A North Palm Beach brewpub that began as a family dinner think-tank pitch is about to celebrate its first anniversary. Josh Brinzo, the managing partner for Stormhouse Brewing, had the idea of launching a brewery with a rotating food menu, the perfect place to go when you’re looking to try something new. “I pitched the idea to launch a distillery with food at a Thanksgiving dinner, and everyone thought I was kind of crazy that I wanted to do that,” said Brinzo. “Next thing you know, my brother got into brewing, and it turned out he was really good at it.” After his brother’s discovered his newfound gift of brewing, he decided to go to Germany and train to become a master brewer. He moved to South Florida in 2018 after his training was complete. The pursuit of the perfect property ended with the discovery of a space next to the water in North Palm Beach, and Stormhouse Brewing opened May 21, 2021. “The whole concept of Stormhouse Brewing is to be a place for the community to have something to do in terms of events, in terms of dining, music, just something to bring everyone, of all ages, together,” Brinzo said. You can find everything from charcuterie boards to lobster mac and cheese, wings, burgers and tacos. There is something for everyone, from the timeless cravings to dishes for the adventurous foodie. The first beer, Billie Rose Blonde, is a smash hit. The beer is named after Brinzo’s first daughter. Stormhouse has brewed five batches of

Winter Equestrian Festival kicks off in Wellington By Sharon Penn Palms West Journal
The 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival is back at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington through April 3. The town welcomes up to 8,000 horses and 250,000 spectators from around the globe. World-class showjumping events last 13 weeks at the largest and longestrunning equestrian event in the world. Professionals and amateurs, including children as young as 5, compete for more than $12 million in prizes. The festival offers over 100 food and retail vendors, including Vendor Village for equestrian items and the International Ring for boutique shopping. Food options include authentic ethnic choices and healthy
items. Saturday Night Lights is the main event each week. Also called the Grand Prix, Saturday Night Lights features the world’s top horses and riders. The event is considered the highest level of competitive show jumping for the week. The first Saturday Night Lights took place during Premiere Week with the $75,000 Battle of the Sexes. The women defeated the men 30-13 for their 11th win in 13 years. The competition had three rounds: speed class, relay and match race. Winning team captain Kelly Soleau-Millar was joined by Hayley Iannotti, Taylor Land, Caelinn Leahy, Samantha Mckenzi, Mia Mannis, Abigail McArdle, Jacqueline Steffens, Anna Wilks and Heather Caristo-Williams.

Lights highlight is the Nations Cup, featuring teams representing various countries competing for $150,000. The Rolex Grand Prix CS15 is the grand finale in the closing week of the Winter Equestrian Festival with a total haul of $500,000. Festival attendees can stroll the grounds and watch different levels of competition at various rings from Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The three main divisions are hunter, equitation and jumper. The hunter division is judged subjectively on the
athleticism, jumping form and beauty of the horses. The equitation division judges the riders for style and proper position. The jumper division is scored on speed and accuracy with the objective of completing the course without knocking down a rail in the fastest possible time. The Palm Beach International Equestrian Center features 500 acres and 18 arenas. The main International Arena is surrounded by stadium and box seating, along with hospitality pavilions. The center has over 250 stalls
for horses, horse trails and pedestrian paths.

Margaritaville at Sea to launch from Port of Palm Beach

The Port of Palm Beach in Riviera Beach will become the home port of the cruise ship Margaritaville at Sea Paradise in 2022. The relaunch of the Port of Palm Beach’s only cruise ship will be the latest offering associated with Jimmy Buffett’s hit song from 1977 and the first ship branded with
“Margaritaville.” The Margaritaville at Sea will offer two- and threenight trips to Freeport in the Bahamas, as well as extended-stay vacations. In a deal between the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line and Margaritaville Enterprises, the former Grand Classica will be rebranded as the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise. The Bahamas
Paradise Cruise Line will now be known as Margaritaville at Sea. The deal is the result of Margaritaville’s longtime search for the right opportunity to enter the cruise business, according to Cruise Industry News. The cruise line joins Buffett’s Margaritaville family of businesses, which offers more than 25 hotels and
resorts, two gaming properties, RV resorts, more than 60 food and beverage venues, real estate communities, vacation clubs and consumer lifestyle products. John Cohlan, the CEO of Margaritaville, said the cruises will keep with the Margaritaville lifestyle brand of resort experiences and elevated service. The Margaritaville at Sea
Paradise will undergo a multi-million-dollar refurbishment and renovation that will result in 10 passenger decks, 658 cabins in a variety of categories and the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar. The cabins and common areas will showcase Margaritaville’s signature casual-luxe design, highlighted by subtle nautical detailing and colors that evoke the sea, sky and sand. Departures from the Port of Palm Beach are anticipated to begin in the spring. Margaritaville at Sea CEO Oniel Khosa said the launch of the cruise line should draw a tremendous amount of tourism. The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise will offer the only two- and three-day cruises sailing from the Port of Palm Beach to Freeport on Grand Bahama. The first passenger sailing is scheduled for April 30. Dining options include JWB Prime Steak & Seafood, Port of Indecision Buffet, Frank and Lola’s Pizzeria and the Margaritaville Coffee & Pastry Shop. In addition to the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar, drink locations include the LandShark Sports Bar, Euphoria Lounge and Sunset Bar. To get further information or book a trip, visit margaritavilleatsea.com.

As the chief compassion officer of the Dovecot Farm equestrian wellness center in Loxahatchee Groves, Sarah Palmer invites people to find peace during challenging times. Palmer is a mindfulness meditation teacher and a resilience mentor and coach. She learned equine-facilitated learning and coaching at the Kathy Pike Academy for Coaching With Horses. Near Wellington’s equestrian center, Dovecot Farm is a serene setting with 11 acres designed to promote healing through a connection with

The Barn to Bedside Retreat, a recurring program at Dovecot Farm, is tailored to nurses dealing with pandemic stress and is supported by the Palm Health Foundation. Palmer’s goal is for nurses to leave feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and ready to take on their responsibilities in the care of the community. “It’s a really beautiful, compassionate space,” Palmer said about Dovecot Farm. “So what

Equine therapy, commonly called equestrian therapy, harnesses the healing power of horses as they interact with people. Palmer also taps into equestrian therapy to help those interested in health and wellness achieve inner peace, more harmonious relationships, and improved life-work integration. Being around horses can help people with anxiety and depression or autism spectrum disorders, as well as at-risk youths. Equine therapy at Dovecot Farm includes journaling, heart-centered breathing techniques and silent meditation. Participants often begin with a cup of tea in the Dovecot farmhouse, then walk five minutes to the Royal
