2011 4th of July Celebration Schedule of Events

/

The annual Steinhatchee 4th of July celebration will take place this year on Monday July 4th starting at 6:00 p.m. There will be lots of food, games and music.

The often imitated but never duplicated world famous Mullet Toss starts at 7:00 p.m.

The fireworks display will start at dusk. Keep in mind that the bridge will be closing at 8:30 so make sure you are in your favorite spot by then.

The fireworks are being paid for this year by a golf cart raffle, so pick up those raffle tickets at local businesses. The golf cart winner will be drawn before the start of the fireworks.

 

Scalloping fun for the family

/

The only bad thing about scallop season has always been that it's too short — the dates for many years have been July 1 to Sept. 10. This year, with the state trying to jumpstart waterfront businesses along the Gulf Coast, the shellfish harvest season opened early; today is Day 2 and the season runs all the way to Sept. 25.

The early start means kids out of school get more of a chance to enjoy scalloping with their families, and what a great family sport it is. Thousands of Florida kids have gotten their first taste of the Gulf of Mexico's beautiful, clear inshore waters while snorkeling for scallops with mom and dad.
