Happy 20th Palmetto Bay! Another year of celebration for Palmetto Bay – this one was special – where we gathered with friends and family in celebrating the 20th year of incorporation. The village picnic is special, though attendance my vary from year to year, it remains a time for celebration and family fun, as well as a time to remember how this event came charging out of the gate as a major village event from its very first year.

Special note: there are many photos from many different celebrations posted, perhaps you can find family and friends, if not even yourself in these photos.
Once again, I want to give credit where credit is due, giving a huge “Thank You” to the special events committee set up under the original council, an outstanding group of volunteers. The initial chair was Jacquie Sosa who was an anchor with Channel 10. This position was held later by Jeanne Rothfield and finally Donna Coughlin, who served as our last chairperson. The special events committee and staff, all working as part of the team under the initial village council, created events and interests including rides, city information, educational topics, wholesome family events, dunk tank -raising thousands of dollars at no expense to village taxpayers - for charity, & local school participation! Come on, who did not enjoy dunking me to raise money for charity?
