Babies on board

Leading the way

Kids and their families met at the Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce for costume judging before parading with their classes to AME to kick off the festival.
Fishing for prizes
Preschool ranger Jack Love has his mind set on reeling in some prize tickets at the AME-PTO Fall Festival fishing booth.
