The logo for this year's Woman's Club
Fair was created by artist Jane Carlson, whose work is being
shown in the annual Boca Grande Art Alliance Spring Show
this weekend as well.

The
Big Weekend is here starting at 9 a.m. Saturday when the
Book Sale in the Woman's Club Room begins as part of the
Woman's Club Fair that really gets crankin' after the 19th
Annual Bike Parade makes it way along the bike path starting
at 5th Street.
The Parade begins at 10:30
A.M. with mandatory line-up scheduled for 9:55 a.m. It
concludes its run all along the GICIA bike path at the
Community Center grounds where a myriad of games, food, and
more fun awaits residents and visitors alike. |
Mary Jo Wilson and Sue Cain are
co-chairs of the Woman’s Club Fair this year, and as
usual, Dee Wheeler is organizing the bike parade. Among the
features of the fair this year is a bake sale, cake walk,
games for kids, music, and more. See Lee Shinner's column
for a luscious recipe and more on the fair.
Over in
Placida....
It's the annual Rotary Seafood Festival
for two days — Saturday and Sunday just off island on the
grounds of The Fishery restaurant. Smoked mullet caught in
local creeks, Fishery gumbo, Louisiana spicy fish and
shrimp, grouper, squid, blue crab, octopus and even
alligator — will be among the goodies offered.
The party includes "island"
music by "Impulse," crab races, nautical arts and
crafts, games, boat displays and more.
The Placida Rotary Seafood Festival is
open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is $2 for
adults, free to children under 12. Parking is available at
$2 per car in the field across from The Fishery. |
