Like last year, students participated virtually from their school.

Shake Shack restaurant owners plan to repurpose a former Steak ‘n Shake location at 17312 Chesterfield Airport Road.

Chesterfield will be the burger chain’s third location in the St. Louis area. The company’s first location opened in the Central West End in 2017 at 60 North Euclid, and its second location opened during 2020 at 8885 Ladue Road in the Ladue Crossing Shopping Center. The New-York based company was founded in 2004 by St. Louis native Danny Meyer. Shake Shack now has more than 200 locations across the world.

Tickets for the blockbuster exhibition, “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” are on sale. The exhibition fills the new Starry Night Pavilion on the grounds of the Saint Louis Galleria. Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous, influential figures in Western art.

‘BEAUTIFUL BY NATURE’ IS THE MOTTO OF THOSE REPRESENTING THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS -- A REPUTATION STEMMING FROM THE CRYSTALLINE TURQUOISE WATERS, WHITE SAND BEACHES, WORLD-CLASS SPAS, PARADISE DINING MENUS, CULTURAL TRADITIONS, SHOPPING, OUTDOOR ADVENTURES AND 40-PLUS ISLANDS OR CAYS ADMIRED THERE. Each island and cay in the archipelago is a destination on its own, says Marcie Boyle, owner of RSVP Events & Travel and Travel Leaders Chesterfield, noting that Travel + Leisure voted the destination one of the best 50 places to travel. The region consists of the larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turks Islands, two groups of tropical islands in the Lucayan Archipelago of the Atlantic Ocean and northern West Indies. “The first time I flew in [into TCI], the colors of the ocean simply took my breath away. Turquoise that you’ve never seen before,” recalls Marcie. “Pictures simply don’t do it justice. The white sand, the crystal clear water for miles, is simply stunning. It quickly became my favorite island, and after several returns, I continue to feel that way.” Making the island even more unique and organic is that it’s virtually untapped by retail chains. Marcie says all TCI hotels were individually owned until the arrival of The Ritz this year. The restaurants and bars are owned by locals, she adds. “Everyone has a recommendation about where to go, and no one ever steers you wrong. Just ask your cab driver, bellman or concierge, and they will send you to some of the best of the best,” she says. People who go to Turks and Caicos looking for all-inclusive packages do themselves a disservice, Marcie believes. She says the community’s food and hospitality locations are worth every penny.

TRAVEL DESTINATION (CONTINUED)

Marcie definitely recommends staying at the luxury oceanfront resort West Bay Club at which guests envelop themselves in beachside serenity and contemporary Caribbean style. It’s known for providing a relaxed, laid-back boutique setting for family vacations, personal getaways or couples seeking some peace and quiet. A full-service spa, as well as a picturesque infinity pool ringed by loungers and palm trees, awaits visitors. West Bay Club also offers sunning, sailing and snorkeling along an uncrowded strip of Grace Bay Beach. Guests state the resort’s 46 studios and suites strike an effortless balance between homey and elegant. TCI is a British overseas territory with Providenciales (known as Provo locally) as an island in the northwest Caicos Islands. Marcie really enjoys Provo’s Grace Bay and Long Bay area. Marcie says Provo is an amazing spot for destination weddings. Because she’s planned some there, she’s happy to help with details. She says it’s also a wonderful honeymoon spot. “Some stay at a popular resort and then do a few nights in a more remote location like Amanyara or Parrot Caye,” she explains.

For families, Marcie and her team have an inventory of villas they recommend -many are available with butlers and chefs, if requested. She says several of the resorts have larger suite options for families needing two, three or more bedrooms. “Provo is a highly sought-after destination – give yourself time to plan for this trip, so we can find the perfect hotel fit for activities, personalities, style, pace and budget,” says Marcie, who has visited most of the resorts there and can
