The Florida Seafood Festival is around the corner. 49th Annual I recently asked what the Florida Seafood Festival means to you. The response was overwhelming. People said that the Festival means old friends you haven’t Florida seen in forever. It also means spending time with family and a big reunion. The recurring theme was that the festival is part of everyone’s lives. After 49 years it has spanned generations. Grandparents who attended in 1963 are now bringing Seafood their grandchildren. So I asked myself the same question and it was no surprise my answer was that the Seafood Festival brings together everything that is great in this community Festival into one weekend. The memories come flooding back of years gone by that I Fellow, American College of sometimes forget, but when the first cold snap hits and I can smell the seafood Foot and Ankle Surgeons cooking, I feel the excitement of what’s to come.

When most festivals fizzle Apalachicola, Florida 32320 out after years for any number of reasons you might ask why the oldest Maritime 850/653-FEET Event in the state of Florida has kept going strong for all this time. It’s simple…. CoastalFoot.com Apalachicola, Fl You, the Community. Those memories are our history, our heritage and every year Welcome to the Seafood Festival!! 2012 more memories are made and there are more stories to tell. Another reason is the volunteers on the board of Directors. They plan the festival from January to November, giving up time from their families and friends. They uality do this for one s Q O reason: the love of this community and The Florida Seafood Festival. ynn’ ysters, Ted Mosteller has served on that board for over 40 years; if that’s not love nothing L Inc is. So as you see the flags going up along Highway 98 and the fence going around .
