Pass-A-Grille Celebrates 81 Years of Broiling Success

It was a day full of family fun at Pass-A-Grille's Fish Broil and Mullet Festival. The smell of fresh cooked fish filled the air as a number of different activities kept visitors happy.

There was no shortage of food. From smoked mullet to veggie skewers, there was a little something for everyone. Kids enjoyed a bounce house, face painting and games. Adults were able to have some good times of their own, with the craft vendors set up for business. Pets roamed the grounds with their owners, enjoying the chilly air and animal friendly vendors.

There was also live music with a seating area for folks to take a load off. The vivacity of the scene combined with the cool, sea breeze made for a great evening on the beach.

A silent auction was also in place to benefit a number of different organizations:

• Gulf Beaches Historical Museum
• St. Pete Beach Library
• Tampa Bay Watch
• Pass-A-Grille's 100th Anniversary
• Montessori by the Sea

Everyone was invited to stay for a bonfire and drum circle celebration as the gulf swallowed the sun.
