Splash for Charity in the Key West Bight at Schooner Wharf Bar
The Rain Couldn�t Take The Hilarity Out of Charity
On a Day of Record Rainfall --- Large Crowd Shows for Walk the Plank
Party
A rum and rain soaked but highly enthusiastic piratical crowd gathered
to watch Mayor Morgan McPherson being sent in to Davy Jones� Locker
(the Key West Bight) He was joined by City Manager Jim �Dagwood�
Scholl and Schooner Wharf co-owner Evalena Worthington. The trio all
walked the plank off Key West�s flagship Schooner Western Union to
raise over $1,600 for the Boys and Girls Club and The Western Union
Preservation Society.
Tonna Denny had the winning raffle ticket to escort Mayor Morgan off
the plank, who was a major �splash-hit� with his cannonball. Not to be
out done, Dagwood scored a 10 with the crowd with his pencil dive and
Evalena leaped off the plank.
Our local Bone Island Buccaneer�s read articles of piracy, performed
songs and entertained the crowd.
Costume Contest winners were: Best Pirate: Captain Frye
Sexiest Wench: Theresa the Terrible
Cut Throat Surprise: Deadly Diana
Nationally
renowned Biscuit Miller and the Mix kept everyone in happy feet.
