Hey Everyone! Hope you all had a fun and safe Fantasy Fest! For those of you who don't know, Fantasy Fest is a HUGE week-long festival that takes place in Key West at the end of October. The festival is very similar to Mardi Gras in New Orleans in that it has parades and bead throwing as well as a multitude of activities and shows and everyone dresses in costume.
A friend of mine and I were invited to participate in a float for the Fantasy Fest parade. Our float was called "The Fair Comes to Key West". We had Clowns, a Lion and Lion Tamer, "Strong Men", many ladies dressed in "little girl" dresses, not to mention two dashing Ring Leaders! We also had a band, a carousel, and a ferris wheel on the float. I had never seen anything like it!
I was assigned a chair on the ferris wheel, which honestly made me a little nervous. Being up that high, going around a ferris wheel while also moving forward on the float was a new concept for me, but it turned out to be more fun than scary once I got used to it. Plus, being up high made it easier to throw beads to people standing on the rooftops of buildings! If you've never been to Fantasy Fest, plan on joining the festivities next year. Don't forget your costume! We'll see you there!
Make your dreams come true! The Florida Keys has beautiful weather year-round and many outdoor activities to enjoy. Now is an excellent time to buy property in the Florida Keys! There are also some great deals on homes in the Florida Keys and your little piece of paradise awaits you. Visit our website at www.PlaceInParadise.com or drop me a line at teammullins@bellsouth.net. I would love to hear from you!
