Boat parade: fun and spectacular
To the editor:
We won first place for most original and didn’t care! We were known as the Jellyfish Boat at the 25th annual Christmas Boat Parade and, when passing by the homes and restaurants, we could hear the screams of laughter from children young and old!
It was prize enough sharing such a magical night with our community and an honor to be near such a wonderful American veteran from World War II, Russ Winset! I will treasure these memories forever! Thank you FMB for making our first year in the parade and living on the island so spectacular! A big thanks to the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerse, Salty Sams, the dock hands at Salty Sams for putting up with all our craziness, Parrot Key, Big Game and all the others who made it the best night ever! Thank you also to all my wonderful Canadian and Midwestern friends who helped with the decorating!
Happy Holidays! See you next year!
