Winner, winner! Fish dinner?
For the Center of Anna Maria Island and a local charter captain, the golf ball drop at the Lester Family Fun Day was better than a hole-in-one.
Charter Capt. Laura King won the ball drop Dec. 3 at the family festival hosted each December at the center, 407 Magnolia Ave., Anna Maria.
Center director of development Jim McDaniel said King, a center supporter, was one of the first people to buy into the 50-50 fundraiser that’s a highlight of the Christmas-themed celebration.
King, he said, was not present for the balldrop, which was carried out by Florida Suncoast Helicopter over the center’s sports field.
At Islander press time Dec. 5, the center was still tabulating the amount raised, said McDaniel, and King had yet to be reached. Surprise!
He said the center continues to focus on its end-of-the-year fundraiser, a matching offer for $100,000.
