Pirates to Sponsor "JennieFest"

Cedar Key Pirates in Paradise announce JennieFest
July 16, 2010

The Cedar Key Pirates in Paradise are arranging a special fundraising event to benefit Jennie Pinto on July 16, 2011. Jennie recently had brain surgery and will require an extended period of recovery.

The theme for Jenniefest is `Cedar Key - A small town with a Big heart." The event will begin at 9:00 AM and last into the evening. Local businesses, organizations, and individuals have enthusiastically been signing up to participate and add their own flair to the event.

There will be a Drummond Bank tent to accept donations to the account set up by the Lion`s Club. A group of local kids will be setting up a lemonade stand. Our barber shop quartet and other talent will stroll through town stopping at businesses to share a song. They will donate their tips to the cause. The Pirates will have a rummage sale. One local restaurant will have a Jennie special on the menu and donate a portion of the proceeds. An imaginative local lady has seized upon Jennie`s love of bowling and will have a sidewalk bowing game. The possibilities are endless and only limited by our collective imaginations.

2000 pink hearts will be distributed to participating businesses along with a receptacle for donations. For a donation of $1.00 or more the donor can sign his or her name or write a special note to Jennie. At the end of the event, they will all be bundled up and delivered to her.

Each business or group involved will receive a laminated pink heart with Jennie`s name across the middle with the event theme to designate them as an active participant.

If you would like to be included as a participant in JennieFest contact Bobby or Jan McCabe at 543-5623 or by E mail McCabe4slc@aol.com. Cedar Key really is a small town with a Big heart.
