What a great weekend at the First Annual Key Largo Stone Crab & Seafood Festival! The two-day event drew amazing crowds, even despite the overcast skies on Sunday, and everyone loved the Saturday night fireworks display (the cheers could be heard a half-mile away)!

Prudential agents manned their booth both days and had loads of fun! We were the only real estate company with a presence at the festival, and both sales & rental agents were on hand to help the many nice folks who stopped by to chat. We passed out brochures, discussed sales & rental properties with visitors & locals alike, offered visual tours on the several laptop computers on hand, saw lots of old friends and made lots of new ones. We even raised almost $200.00 with a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Red Cross's Haiti Relief Fund (half of the proceeds went to the raffle winner & the remaining half to the Red Cross), and we send our heartfelt thanks to all the booth visitors who donated to that cause!

The music was good, the food offered by area restaurants & other vendors was wonderful, the weather was great -- all in all, it was an amazing weekend in the Fabulous Florida Keys! We look forward to next year's event, and hope to see everyone there.
