I prepared a treasure chest of Barnes Beach Jewelry.





We work with a Sea Turtle Rescue and Educational Facility down in Navarre.



Meet “Sweet Pea”. A Green Sea Turtle that lives at the Center. She was victim of a Boat Strike which took one of her front flippers and badly damaged her shell. She went thru a long healing process, but is healthy now. Of course, she cannot be released back into the wild.



Meet “Safari”. An African Tortoise. Now 10 years old and 55 pounds, he will grow to about 230 pounds and live approx. 150 years. Somebody got him. Got tired of him, and dumped him. He was found crossing a street in Pensacola, Fl. He now lives at the Turtle Center where he meets the public for educational visits.



Meet .... yuck ... a darned snake. There were various Conservation Groups at the Festival. The Snake was a hit.

Meet my pretty wife, Kelly. And my Twin Grandsons Chance and Bryce. We picked them up to take on
our business/festival trip.



Sea Turtle Center on the Beach.



Firemen were there. To let Kids knock down Cones with the firehouse.



There was a WHALE! That you could go inside. Inside is was painted with ribs and neat stuff. Air inflated.



There were huge kites in the air ...



Kids could Pilot ROVs in a big tank.



Our display case at the Center Gift Shop.



We ended our day with THE KING at Burger King

Drove home. It’s about 85-90 miles down there. That is my limit anymore. Was a fine day.

Funny too. Standing at the counter in the Turtle Center Gift shop ... a Volunteer spoke up and said ... this is my husband. And he says ... “You are Gary Barnes???” And we talked for 40 minutes about his desire for the best in custom knives ...

Thanks for reading.

Gary

That looks like a fun trip. I hope the jewelry sells fast!
I also hope you had a knife with you to sell to him....
