Just how does the print hit the screen, how does what was once a flat drawing become a three-dimensional moving picture? It’s all a part of the digital world of 3D printing. This particular art of printing involves the act of a manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. Now island locals and guests have an opportunity to learn how to do it for themselves. Orange Beach Public Library will be hosting their most popular Markerspace Technology Class yet, a look into the creative space of 3D printing. The class is free and starts approximately at 2:30 PM. During the three-hour course participants will learn information on printing and how to bring future projects to life using the art of 3D printing. Don’t miss out on this wonderful chance to learn from scratch or tune up your skills with new tools in the digital world of the future.

We can cook any day of the week, why not try something new and let others serve you. Wolf Bay, a local tradition since 1973, is more than just a restaurant. This family owned and operated business’s attention to detail in every aspect of the guests experience is one to be commended. From the moment you step foot inside to be greeted to the pristine table service. Coastal charm at its best, offering that fine dining feeling with a laid-back and welcoming put together finish. Choose from a number of tasty menu items like Cajun oysters, a juicy steak, seafood delights, salads and plenty between the bun options like the mouth-watering BBQ Cheddar Burger or Grouper Reuben.
