Top Notch Week 6: Looking up for fun
John Lafferty of Lakeland wins the sixth and final week of The Islander’s Top Notch photo contest with this summer-splashed photograph of Barrett Strong, Bryant Strong, Hudson Lloyd and Everett Lloyd relaxing on a pool float on Anna Maria Island. Lafferty took the photo over the July 4 weekend. He 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 Mister Roberts Resort Wear, Cupcake Delights, Mr. Bones BBQ, Add the Sea, Slim’s Place and Island Coffee Haus. Next week, The Islander names the tops in this year’s Top Notch contest.
