Gasparilla Schedule


Tickets are now on sale ($6 per person) for our Gasparilla dinner and dance on Feb 2, 2008. Contact any Board member for a ticket, or our own Ticket Mistress Guy Hislop.


We need golf carts and drivers to volunteer Taxi service to carry residents to the Point. The usual decorated golf cart contest and decorated bike contest winners will receive a small bag of "gold coins".


Boaters are asked to call Ron Jeffries (11-23) to register your decorated boat in the contest. We sure could use more boaters in the flotilla.


The best male and female costumes will also fetch a bag of "gold coins".


Here's the schedule:


Flotilla begins at 2:30 in Redfish Bayou. Boaters, make sure you have a registration number.


The Pirate invasion happens when they reach Pirate's Cove.


At 3:30 the parade begins with the Marching Dance and Flag Group, followed by the bikes and golf carts. Feel free to join in the parade if you are in costume. Please support our parade people with your presence on Sunset Blvd.


There is no reason to rush down to the hall, sit outside and enjoy the parade.


At 4:30, the Gasparilla vittles will be served. The traditional Sloppy Joe feast with some sides will make your gizzard tingle as you wash it down with your drink that you bring. BYOB!


Music will be on-going, and hopefully you will be dancing. Fatu starts at 5:30 and will surely get everyone up and dancing until the party ends at 8:30.


Get your tickets before they are gone!
