I think, that re enacts a pirate invasion of the Tampa area. Fantastic Festival, lasts for two or three days and coincides with the Florida State Fair. ..................... Sailing ships come into beautiful Tampa Bay, land masses of pirates onshore, the pirates have a big parade through town, as pirates used to do of course;), a good time is had by all and copious amounts of food and spirits are consumed!! If any are planning on visiting the Tampa area I would think early Feb. would be a wonderful time to do so........... OF course! while you are there call Terry and check out his pinblock job! :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
