Deering Estate Seafood Festival 2012. Another great time held in Palmetto Bay

Green Mobility Netweor's Bike Valet Service

Don’t tell me that you missed one of the best events held in your own backyard.  The Deering Estate Foundation put on yet another outstanding annual Deering Seafood Festival.  I benefited from a little before and after exercise, Alexandra and I again traveling the green route, via bike and using the FREE BIKE VALET SERVICE at the Main Gate courtesy again of Green Mobility Network! (including Palmetto Bay bike advocate Eric Tullberg)

Volunteers Howard Tendrich & Tim Coulin

Local restaurants were there with their specialties featuring scrumptious bounty from the sea. Golden Rule Seafood Market, Black Point Ocean Grill, Rodbender’s Raw Bar & Grill, Shibui Japanese Restaurant and Sports Grill offered their usual outstanding food.

The drinks were cold (soft drinks and water of course), the sea food was outstanding and meeting up with friends marked a great time (as usual).

Of course, the usual uber-volunteers were out in force including; Lois and Paul Neidhardt (and their extended family, including Ed Santos, and PJ & Dorian, volunteering along with them), Council Member Howard Tendrich, Tim and Donna Coughlin, Danny Iglesias, Betty Noe, and Chris Berdion.  Can you have any event in Palmetto Bay without these hard working volunteers?  No photo ops here, just their usual hard work for a great cause.

And of course, we also have to thank Deering Foundation Executive Directory Mary Petit.

Don’t miss it next year!
