Mission Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Kristi "Mamasabi" Metcalf asked me to let everyone on the pub know that it is with heavy hearts that they must cancel the event this year. You can see the letter from the Friends of Fort Taylor below. (No one is more bummed than me.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jim Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 As for me, I am intending to take the family to Key West anyway, being as it is relatively close at hand. I am also contemplating a full attendance at the Alafia River Rendezvous, a week-long, pre-1840, closed event. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Well, that stinks, but understandable given the current economic state of the nation. Maybe I will be able to attend a 2017 event if there is one. Looking at getting out of this nursing home business and getting a warehouse/driver position with the local electrical/plumbing supply house I have done business with since 1997.

Island Cutter Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I am sure that this has been said elsewhere,but... Can we organize some smaller scale alternative(s) in our local areas as something of a fundraiser for FOFT? I realize that I haven't made it to the event since '09, but I am having withdrawals at the thought alone of not getting there this year. I am even living in The Sunshine State once again and being this much closer to Cayo Hueso was a major factor in the decision to move home. Any thoughts on how to keep this event viable? I would like to do what I can to help. Cutter The Red Herring "No Profit Grows Where is No Pleasure Taken." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
