We're gearing up for Cracker Fest 2014, an event that raises funds for Solutions to Avoid Red Tide (START) - an organization that Sanibel Sea School partners with on lots of great marine conservation and research projects, including Seafood Savvy, which aims to promote sustainable seafood in SW Florida.

It's going to be an Old Florida-style celebration complete with line dancing and Ralph Woodring's fried mullet. To help you get in the spirit, check out these vintage Florida postcards we found! We hope to see you there.
