KIDS’ AND FAMILY DAY AT MEL FISHER MARITIME MUSEUM ON NOVEMBER 29

Meet Captain Holly at Kids’ and Family Day in the courtyard at Mel Fisher Maritime Museum at 200 Greene Street on Saturday, November 29 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Sponsored by the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society, Keys Federal Credit Union and Pirates in Paradise, this FREE event gives kids a chance to tell Captain Holly, Santa’s Southernmost helper, what they want for Christmas.  Santa sends Captain Holly out ahead of time to hear from the children of the Southernmost City.  Braving icebergs, storms and tropical heat waves, Captain Holly sails down from the North Pole to gather up Christmas lists.

Kids are urged to dress up as elves or pirates and participate in a costume contest at 1 p.m.  At 10:30 a.m., kids can learn to navigate a treasure map.  They’ll be lots of pirate games such as Bubbles and Bones, Tall Tales and Wild Yarns, and Swashbuckling Swordplay.  Meet the pirate crews from Pyrates of the Coast (Port Orchard, WA), Tortuga Mutineers (Marathon) and the West Coast Pioneers (Sarasota).  It’s all fun and it’s free!

The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum is a 501c(3) not for profit organization dedicated to the research, preservation, and education of New World history.  Founded in 1982, it is the most visited non-profit history museum in the southeastern United States.
