City presents community celebration
The city of Sanibel’s 50th Anniversary Workgroup and Sanibel Recreation Center presented the Red, White & 50+ Years Bright Community Celebration on July 4 on Sanibel. Organizers thanked everyone who took part. “This year’s event was filled with laughter, fun, and community spirit — and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our incredible partners and all those who attended,” they said. This year’s partners included: A Little Adventure, with treats; Bailey’s, with snacks; Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, with crafts and activities; Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, which sponsored and distributed Pinocchio’s Original Italian Ice Cream; Sanibel Fire and Rescue District, which led the balloon fight; Spiderman, who made an appearance; and The Farmers Market, with hot dogs. “We’re proud to continue creating community traditions that bring people together in the spirit of fun, friendship and freedom,” organizers added.
