The Mangrove Mosquito Queen (left & right)

Won Best Overall Boat

This almost precipitated a crisis in the Keys. The Mosquito Board got wind of this giant mosquito and had emergency calls into the US Air Force and Navy for immediate military action. We hear that authorization for nuclear weapons was imminent in the light of this dire threat!
(Remember the 60's Sci-Fi?)

We always knew that Kelly from Burdine's Waterfront was an Angel. Now she proves it by hanging off the davit on CREATIVE TOUCH over the water as she "fly's" through the parade!
