Today’s the Day – To Celebrate Mel!!!
Thursday, July 19th at 6:00 p.m.
The
golden dream of treasure hunter Mel Fisher is alive and well and still
celebrated in Key West every July.
The Kick-Off Party for Mel Fisher Days will take place Thursday, July 19th
starting at 6:00 p.m. Come celebrate the day 22 years ago when Mel’s crews
found $400 million in shipwrecked gold, silver and emeralds that had been
sitting on the ocean floor for more than 300 years. The events combine
stories of the hunt for the Spanish galleon Atocha, memories of the
man, and a few of his favorite activities. Throughout the night, more than
$8,000 in Spanish Treasure Coins will be given away.
Anyone who remembers Mel remembers his fondness for beautiful women in
minimal clothing. So the Homemade Bikini Contest will be held in honor of
the man who would most appreciate it.
The women will compete for a grand prize of an authentic silver coin from
the Atocha,.
The evening will include a fabulous Homemade Bikini Contest with an
authentic Silver Grade One Atocha, coin (retail value $2,400)
as the grand prize.
Later, test your Mel Fisher knowledge with a game of trivia – win a prize
if you answer 20
questions! Then it’s a game of “To Tell the Mel Truth.” The winner
takes home another Atocha, coin!!!
There
will be raffles to benefit the Michael Abt Have a Heart Fund; the goal is
to supply Automatic External Defibulaters (AED) to schools in Florida,
with over $5,000 in prizes -- authentic treasure coins from the Atocha,
Margarita and 1715 fleets, and MORE!!!
For $15.00, take a chance to “have your cake and eat it too!” in the Mel
Fisher tradition. Treasure is buried in the winning slice; you could sink
your teeth into a Grade 2 Atocha coin worth $1800!
As Mel always said of Schooner Wharf Bar, “This place is a Treasure,” so
come enjoy the evening at Mel’s favorite watering hole with the Fisher
family, and treasure your own memories.
