Two hundred people were fed at the 2010 annual Regency Cove Gasparilla Celebration on Saturday, Feb 6, 2010. Countless others joined in the outdoor festivities and parade, despite the inclement weather. For months these committeemen organized and planned this gala event.
High winds and rough seas all but destroyed the historic flotilla. One hale and hearty sea captain and first mate, Ed and Dee Bedore, with an energetic Krewe ventured out into Pirates' Cove. Providing ballast and also throwing beads were John Rechsteiner, Len and Etel Helbig, Toots Gorr, and Al and Gerry Sullivan. (photo by Anna Jeffries)
Rough winds did not deter the resident band, Regency Ramblers from providing entertainment under the pavillion. Quite a few residents gathered to enjoy their music, waiting for the parade to begin. (Photo by Sandy Ross)

The party was a blast. Jerry Chase entertained and had the dance floor filled all night. It was a success!
