Laguna Beach will be hoppin’ this Labor Day Weekend 2011, so be checking back regularly here as I discover more news about town. I’ve rounded up my favorites to date, but I’ve got to tell you … the most important item on your agenda should be registering for the upcoming $250 Laguna Colony Company Shopping trip. Were choosing a winner on Monday, Sept. 5th, and proprietor Paul Mosley has stocked his famous Laguna Beach store to the rafters to accommodate our winner.

If you’re already a subscriber at LagunaBeachBest.com (meaning you receive short emails directly from me that link to entries I’m posting about Laguna Beach), there’s no need to register again. Otherwise, sign up to get in on this amazing shopping trip. (While you’re at it, make sure you also register for the much ballyhooed, highly anticipated Broadway Restaurant by Amar Santana. They’re offering a $150 dinner for two, exclusively here at www.LagunaBeachBest.com
