KEYGULLS HAS CREATED THREE ANNUAL EVENTS THUS FAR
PERDIDO KEY WITCHES & WAREWOLVES HALLOWEEN PADDLE
Founded in Oct. 2021 by local visionaries who loved the idea of organizing a recreational community event from a national trend of Halloween lovers dressed as Witches & Warlocks while paddling on a vessel. Held in Perdido Key directly off the Galvez Boat Launch on the Intracoastal Waterway, a routed course was set around the little islands. We had a successful first event with 33 vessels in the water, 30 spectators, 10 business sponsors & 5 volunteer safety boats in the water with the permission from the United States Coast Guard: Mobile Sector for an open water event. For fun, we held a couple of costume contests: Best Dog Costume and Best Witch & Warlock. We were mentioned on WEAR-TV evening news as an upcoming recreational Halloween Event & featured in FlordiaBuzz.com!
LOST KEY KREWE
Founded in 2022. LKK participated in two Pensacola Mardi Gras Parades by renting a float and charging a general admission fee to cover cost. There were a total of 70 participants & 20 local business sponsors in our very first year! Popular live musicians: Chris Beverly & Mason Henderson played Live on the VIP Gooseneck on the streets of downtown Pensacola! We had onboard local television personality, Josh Brown with Beach Billy Lifestyle TV, video his experience on the float as a participant which will air on his WFGX-TV program and YouTube series! LKK was also featured in the local newspaper the Mullet Wrapper.
