National Seashell Day - June 21, 2022
How appropriate that National Seashell Day falls on the first day of summer. Let the fun begin! We're definitely making up for last summer when red tide hit Anna Maria Island and dead fish lined the shores. It was awful. I call it the summer that wasn't. So, this year we are in our glory.
