Maritime History Comes Alive
At 2008 Mighty Mullet Festival
This year's Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival takes a step back in time when reenactors from Maritimes Past pay a visit to Panacea's Woolley Park, Saturday, Nov. 22.
A lighthouse keeper, a celestial navigator, and Civil War maritime militia from St. Augustine will entertain and educate the entire family throughout the day.
Other festival highlights will include the Third Annual International Mullet Cook-Off, music by the Wakulla High School jazz band and the popular local band Pink Shoelaces, the coronation of the festival king and queen, a Fishy Fashion Show with celebrity models, maritime exhibits and demonstrations, arts and crafts booths, a food court featuring fresh Florida seafood, and, of course, activities for children.
"Parking is free and children 11 and under get in free," said festival organizer Bill Lowrie, "and we will have supervised activities to keep them entertained throughout the day." The entrance fee for adults is only $3.00.
The festival opens at 9 a.m. and the closing ceremony will be at 4 p.m. Woolley Park is located just off Coastal Highway 98 on Dickerson Bay in Panacea.
