First Place in the Adult Category was won by Faye Reule of North Carolina. Faye won a 3 day/2 night stay at Summer Beach Resort, and golf and lunch at The Golf Club of Amelia Island. Thank you to all our sponsors for your donations for our shrimp photo contest.
Shrimp Expression culminated on October 16, 2010 at the ShrimpElation Celebration. As the sun was setting on the Amelia River, Pogey Place (the old pogey plant) was transformed into an enchanting evening of dinner, dancing and a very successful auction of the remaining eight shrimp sculptures.
The highest bid was for Rock Shrimp at $1,500, who found a happy home at the Boys and Girls Club.
Other shrimp sculptures were purchased and donated to the City of Fernandina to be permanently displayed.
Please visit www.SearchAmelia.com to view some of the fun-filled happenings of the evening. Thank you, First Federal Bank, for your sponsorship of ShrimpElation Celebration.
Because of the generosity of all those who donated their time and services, we had a very rewarding project that will help to ensure the continuation of our programs that serve the residents of Nassau County.
