2nd Annual Riddim Runway
King Leo Promotions is gearing up for their second annual Riddim Runway, Reggae Festival and Fashion Showcase on Saturday, Sept. 19th and Sunday, Sept. 20, in downtown Fort Myers starting at 3 p.m. Riddim Runway is a fusion of live Caribbean music and fashion and was created by King Leo Promotions as a way of giving back and giving thanks by providing support to children’s charities. Each year, profits from Riddim Runway are allocated to children charities both in the US and the Caribbean. The beneficiaries of this year’s show will be Darlene & Friends locally and L.O.A.F. (Love Over All Foundation) in Jamaica.
We are proud to announce that we have teamed up with Hotel Indigo to bring this festival to beautiful downtown Fort Myers. Live music, vendors and designers will be displayed on Broadway between First and Main (Broadway will be shut down for the event). The fashion show will be held inside Hotel Indigo and there will be children’s activities in the courtyard of the hotel. Each year we strive to bring the best musical talent and we’re excited about bringing Kymani Marley along with Ky-Enie, Keisha Martin and Kehv. Featured designers this year include R. Milton, Cooyah and Eye Collection.
“It’s great to see the community coming together to enjoy music, culture and fashion and at the same time helping our future generations both here and in native West-Indian countries”, said Stacy Lee-Williams, VP of Marketing for King Leo Promotions who celebrates her birthday each year with this annual non-profit event.

Tee up at Sheriff’s Youth Activities League golf tourney
Have you ever wanted to make Sheriff Mike Scott your ‘designated driver’?
You may have a chance to do just that at the Sheriff’s Youth Activities League’s upcoming golf tournament on Oct. 3. Bogies and birdies will abound as duffers and other golf enthusiasts tee up to help raise funds for SYAL, a non-profit organization formed to build relationships between law enforcement and area youths through athletic and education-based programs.
The Tournament will take place at Copperhead Golf Course in Lehigh Acres on Oct. 3, with an 8 a.m. scramble start, followed by lunch and a raffle. Player sign-up fee is $75 per person, and sponsorship packages are available from the $100 Hole Posse to the ultimate $2,500 Sheriff For The Day. Players may enter and be assigned a team, or may sign up as a team.
