Thanksgiving—Keys Style

By
Real Estate Agent with Island Group Realty

Key West ThanksgivingWhile the rest of the country is struggling with the trials and tribulations of winter, here in the Keys we truly have a lot to be thankful for, especially our mild weather. No black ice or shoveling snow for us! We celebrate our good fortune by hitting the outdoors!

 

Tomorrow, November 23rd, the Turkey Doubles Shoot Out will take place at Hawks Cay Tennis Garden from 4:00 – 6:00 PM. Admission is free to club members and $20.00 for non-members. If you want to avoid cooking all day, Hawkes Cay is putting on a great Thanksgiving dinner. It is strongly recommended you make reservations. You can do so by calling 305-743-7000.

 

On Thanksgiving Day you can get yourself a “two-fer” by participating in one of the most popular Keys events of the season … the annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk. All proceeds of the event go to benefit the American Cancer Society under the auspices of the Relay for Life. Get healthy, work off a bit of chub, make room for that turkey feast and donate to those less fortunate than ourselves.

 

The event will take place at the Indies Club at Hawks Cay Resort. Registration starts at 8:30 AM and the race will begin at 9:30 AM. Participants donate a $12.00 entry fee and will receive an event t-shirt. You’ll also improve your own health! If you have any questions you can call 305-289-4906.

 

This is planned to be a weekend full of fun for everyone, no matter what your preferences are in the way of activities.

 

After the Relay for Life Run/Walk there will be a Paddleboard Competition in the Lagoon at noon, a Pie Eating Competition at the Lagoon at 4:00 PM and a Beach Volleyball Tournament at the Indies Club at 4:30 PM.

 

Think you’ll need to work off some of the calories after the good night’s sleep brought on by all that turkey tryptophan? No problem! Friday has a good schedule of events to help with that! There will be a Frisbee Challenge at the Hawks Cay Resort Pool starting at 11:00 AM. At 6:00 PM you can participate in a Sunset Bike Tour of Duck Key. At 7:00 PM there will be a “Kids Night Out” at the Indies Club, followed by “Teen Night Out” at 8:00 PM at the same place.

 

Key West just might be the right place for you. Please let me know how I can assist you. If you have any questions you can reach me, Margarita Villoch, at 305-304-8505 or online at www.isellkw.com.
