Art Walks Begin November 18th on Fort Myers Beach
One of the newest Fort Myers Beach area businesses is quickly
smelling blood and putting its teeth into the local artistic community!
“Our 1st Art Walk will be Saturday, November 18, from 9 a.m.
to Noon,” relates Ty Wooley, general manager of The Shark Bar &
Grill at 17979 San Carlos Boulevard. “Art Walks will feature roughly 30 artists, in our big grass area out
back,” Ty says. “Many of these talented people already display their
work inside our front gallery, but we will have about 10 new artists as
well, so we are happy about that. We do have a few spaces left, with
advance registration necessary by Wednesday, November 15, so get in
while you still can. The cost is just $25, with artists keeping 100% of
their sales.” The previous business at The Shark Bar location introduced the front
art gallery concept, “but our original plan was to remove it,” explained
Ty. “The venue is so unique, however, that we decided to keep it, as
there is no place else around here like it, with the gallery and two
bars and backyard patio. People tell us we have a real Key West-type of
vibe and that is so cool!”
Unusual Turtle Nesting Season Ends
“Our local beaches had a record-shattering number of sea turtle nests
in 2017,” reports Eve Haverfield, the founder of Turtle Time, Inc., a
non-profit established in 1989 for the benefit of marine turtles on Big
Hickory Island, and Bonita, Bunche, and Fort Myers Beaches.
“Unfortunately, due to several severe storms, that did not translate
into record numbers for hatchlings.” Most of the damage was already done, however, by the time Hurricane
Irma struck on Sunday, September 10. “The heavy rain at the end of
August, when the majority of the region received a foot or more of
water, was devastating,” Eve recalls, “so when Irma arrived, most nests
were already dead and gone. Both were a shame, however, as we had such
perfect weather from early June until Tropical Storm Emily literally
came out of nowhere at the end of July, so we anticipated a banner year
for hatchlings and that just did not happen, mostly due to Mother
Nature, but some human interference. We lost the first batch of nests to
heavy rains in early June, then the second batch in late August, right
when many were ready to hatch, so that was icky icing on top of a bad
cake!” FULL STORY
