Hey Reader, I hope you had an amazing Fourth of July! πΊπΈπ I'm a little behind getting this email out... but for a very good reason. I had such a wonderful time with family that I honestly just didn't want it to end. Sometimes you just have to soak up every extra minute while you can. I hope your holiday was filled with good food, great company, and maybe a few fireworks too! Speaking of July... Have you ever visited Key West in July? If so, what's your favorite festival?

The answer: π΄ William Pope DuVal He was Florida's first territorial governor, and when Key West's streets were named, they honored him with what would become the most famous street on the island. I have to laugh a little... I wonder what Governor DuVal would think if he could stroll down the street that bears his name today. Roosters wandering around. Live music pouring out of every doorway. People carrying frozen drinks. Street performers. And thousands of visitors making memories every single year. I have a feeling he'd probably enjoy it. π β This Week's Trivia QuestionLet's see who knows this one... What happened to the Key West Lighthouse in 1969? Hit reply with your answer to get entered into this month's Fun in Key West drawing! π That's it for this week!
