Florida’s first lady, Ann Scott, was in Eastpoint last Friday to
take part in the annual Estuaries Day celebration.
The First Lady took part in a number
of events, including putting on the hermit crab hat to read the children’s book
A House for Hermit Crab to local children.
The First Lady also took a tour of
the reserve’s research facility on island drive.
More than 600 people turned out
Friday for the event which draws attention to the importance of the water and
environment in estuaries that are home to an abundance of Florida
The Apalachicola
estuary is one of the most productive and pristine estuarine systems in the
northern hemisphere.
The Estuary Day celebration also
included birds and animals from the Wild Mammal Association, games, touch
tanks, and classes on throwing cast nets.
The research reserve also gave away
about 600 T-shirts, and plenty of door prizes from local businesses.
