Shortly after our return we all headed to the Seafood Festival at one of the parks in Key West. There were food tents set up so we sampled some shrimp and also conch fritters.
One stand was making homemade
ice cream. They probably had the longest line. Home for them was Wisconsin though, not Florida.
Ross gave the ice cream a big thumbs up.
Besides food there was
entertainment too.
Various bands played
and this group got a
conga line going.
This guy was some type of
entertainer, but it was his dog
with all the talent. The dog did
amazing tricks and then would
walk around the crowd and
collect dollar bills and then go
drop them in a bucket. Maybe
the dog will buy his owner a
trip to the groomers?
Fun people watching.
This guy was enjoying
the day with his parrot.
Even found some Vikings fans.
This Vikes fan had on a
John Beargrease sled dog
marathon shirt. The John
Beargrease is a 400 mile dogsled
racethat takes place in Minnesota.
He said he’d raced in it 7 times.
We spent quite a while visiting with him and found out his name is Arne Engstrom and he’s from my home town! He knows my parents and brother very well so we enjoyed hearing some stories. In fact my Godparents, Musz and Al Bailey, use to go to each check point along the John Beargrease race and cheer him on. Such a small world.

There was a booth giving H1N1
vaccinations so we got in line.
Ross made the comment to
the nurse that he'd never had
a vaccination while drinking
a beer. Her response?
"Welcome to Key West"
This guy?
What can I say? I hate this guy!
