Oh, how we love the Fourth of July on Sanibel and Captiva!
So, I sure hope that your plans are in place to be down on Periwinkle Way at 9:30am Monday morning for our Annual July 4th Parade and Road Rally…
It is always such a fun day and is then topped off by the spectacular fireworks on Causeway Road from 6pm (dusk) to roughly 9pm…
If you have not experienced July 4th on Sanibel Island, then you have truly been missing out and this year is YOUR year to get in on all the action!
Rob and I can’t wait to see you all down there… Sooo much fun to be had!
Have a very happy and very safe Fourth!
Until next week,
Sandy and Rob

Anyone in the mood for baseball?
Well, on Wednesday, May 18th, we carry forth the lovely memory of island legend, Sam Bailey, and one of his two legacy events, “Islands’ Night”.
Started in 1993 as “a way to celebrate the two islands, Sanibel and Captiva, together”, he suggested an evening out at the baseball stadium with events for the family throughout the game that would benefit the different charities on the two islands.
It was a huge success and has evolved today, 18 years later, into including a parade, tailgating, games and contests for the kids, as well as taking every opportunity to highlight and recognize all of the local talent on the islands!
Thank you Sam for everything that you’ve done for our islands, you are so missed and will never be forgotten…

Hope you all have a great week!
