The Matlacha Mariners are joining with the Matlacha Hookers and other local civic organizations and groups to bring a nostalgic, old-fashioned town carnival to Pine Island. The fun family event for all ages will benefit Pine Island charities. Tickets can be purchased at the event entrance for all booth activities. There will be carnival style food and snacks, nonalcoholic beverages, event T-shirts, and live music. Games, contests and activities will include a dunking booth, face painting, photos with props, corn hole toss, a gold fish bowl, football and ring tosses, pine seedlings for planting fun, another man's treasure, guess your weight, and art activities. Community sponsors are Matlacha Mariners, Matlacha Hookers, Pine Island Kiwanis, Greater Pine Island Chamber of Commerce, Old Fish House Marina, Calusa Land Trust, Pine Island Garden Club, Beacon of Hope, Greater Pine Island Lions Club, Pine Island Fire Department and several churches and groups on the Island. This event will provide a fun family event to raise money that will stay right here on the island to help local neighbors in need. Mark your calendar for November 19 and bring the whole family to enjoy the food, fun and festivities that will support good local causes.
