I hope everyone had a fun filled 4th of July weekend. We had an event packed day on Sunday July the 2nd and it was great to see so many people from the community come together for all our events.
Let’s thank Christina King for putting on another patriotic bike and golf cart parade this year. Everyone was talking about those goodie packages she made this year. So much red white and blue! Way to show your patriotism Fleeton Beach!!
The hot day made for a fast crab derby this year as the crabs were ready to go! Special thanks Noah Dockery and Bill Clarke for catching so many crabs for us that didn’t have a crab. Thanks also to Ralph Dove for helping us get the crabs we needed. We had a great time watching the kids cheer in their crabs and all the people who came to watch.
This year we had a special treat with the 1st Fleeton Beach Silent auction. With only a month to pull this together Christine Harmic created a spectacular event! We had a record number of people show up for this exciting event. Thank you to all the Fleeton residents who made these terrific baskets and donated items for the event. We appreciate all the volunteers who helped make this event possible. There was something for everyone and the bidding was as hot as the day was. We were able to add over $3100 to the boardwalk and jetty fund and sold 10 tickets for upcoming fish fry. We did raise a lot of money and its just as important we were able to bring the community together for a fun evening.
Many area businesses graciously donated items for the Fleeton Beach silent auction. They supported our cause of repairing the jetty and boardwalk and we should support them. Take some time to visit their stores, buy from them and tell them you appreciate their support for Fleeton beach! We couldn’t have done this without them.
Please support these businesses who support us!
