In the old Gasparilla Gazette a call was put forth. It said, “Hey, everyone! Let’s have an impromptu patriotic
event!”
The plan was to meet around 10 a.m. in the side parking lot of PJ’s Seagrille with decked-out golf carts on
the morning of the 4th of July. No preparation was required other than a little 4th of July finery. J.T. and
Kathleen Turner even supplied balloons that year.
