Top Notch Week 1: Showing spunk

Angie Blunt of Bradenton won the first week of The Islander’s 2021 Top Notch photo contest with this photograph of “Spunky Aunt Thelma” on the sand in Holmes Beach. Blunt writes in her entry form, “She gave permission to state her age. She is one amazing lady.” For the record, Thelma Vance is 89. The photographer won an Islander “More-than-a-mullet wrapper” T-shirt and entry into the finals, which offers a grand prize of $100 from The Islander and gift certificates from Islander advertisers.
