‘Hands Across the Sand’ this Saturday: Beach locations and press conference information

February 11, 2010 at 11:35 am by Katie M.

As Mitch Perry reported in this week’s Creative Loafing cover story, this Saturday, February 13, Florida residents and tourists will be gathering at Pinellas Suncoast beaches and dozens of beaches statewide, joining hands to show a united front to defend Florida’s beaches against offshore and nearshore oil drilling during the ‘Hands Across the Sand’ event.......


Prior to the event, Pinellas County elected officials will join with local businesses at noon to explain why Florida’s coastal economy must now be protected in both Tallahassee an Washington.

You and your husband should join us at Sea Bluff if you are so inclined. You would be most welcome. Afterall, you only live practically across the street. Please come and descend and climb our 69 steps with us. All others are welcome as well.

Thanks! If there's nothing gonna on at our little beach access then we will. We are on deadline to get floor stained so getting my dh out of the house for even a sec will be a huge accomplishment!!

Jdarg - I sent you a pm!

Stay warm folks! It was sleeting on us on the way to Destin from BMB!

We've met previously at a contractor's house though I doubt if she remembers. No, it isn't gated and is next to White Cliffs.
