The official crowning cer- emony will take place at Baileyfest. “I had to keep pinching myself because I couldn’t believe it was happening,” an excited Sbarra-Michelland said on October 10, just minutes after principal Barbara Von Harten surprised Amy Holik’s fifth grade class with the annual announcement. Both Sbarra-Michelland and Baugh’s essays, written on the subject What Sanibel Means To Me, were selected by a Baileyfest committee as the best among a strong field of well-written testimonials, earning them their royal titles. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool to be the king,” added Baugh. Baileyfest, the annual gathering of islanders and visitors celebrating the community spirit of the islands, will be held this Sunday, October 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Bailey’s Shopping Center, on the corner of Periwinkle Way and Tarpon Bay Road. It will be an afternoon filled with food, refreshments and crowd-pleasing entertainment. According to event organizers, Baileyfest will begin with the playing of The Star Spangled Banner at 1 p.m., followed by an introduction by Sanibel Mayor Kevin Ruane, members of the Sanibel City Council, City Manager Judie Zimomra and Richard Johnson of Bailey’s General Store.
