Less than a week from the start of the Destin Fishing Rodeo, work continues at A.J.’s Seafood and Oyster Bar for the month of October.

Wednesday afternoon, one set of bleachers had been completed and another set was under construction as the restaurant prepares to host the Rodeo, which celebrates its 59th year in 2007.

The Rodeo’s mobile office and merchandise trailer has arrived on-site and the staff is working dilligently to get ready for 10 a.m. Monday morning, when the scales open and the Rodeo officially begins.
