I think Goose Creek Island has a twin community down in Florida. Our island ties to Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island all began in the early 1950's when many Hobucken and Lowland commercial fishermen left the Island and headed south to profit from the vast shrimping industry down there. Some ventured even further to Marathon and Key West. Matter of fact, many Island fishermen returned home with new brides from the Everglades and Florda Keys area.
The 40th Annual Everglades Seafood Festival has announced date changes for the 2013 festival. It will be held February 9 - 10, 2013.
