To answer the question, no we’re not printing It. If you aren’t sure what It is, feel free to skip to Delores Savas’ Eco-Watch column about butterflies. (Print edition only). I’ve always said that a newspaper in Boca Grande is redundant. This week proved the point. The s...

The Boca Beacon We didn't think we were going to be getting much of a fireworks display based on the cost. We were wrong. This isn't the finale. It isn't even the entire show. Skip shot the video. The Boss provided the music. And if you were there, you WERE blinded by the light.

The Boca Beacon Street Party, fireworks video from the Fall Festival. Gary shot the street fair stuff, Skip did the fireworks. Now, all I have to do is find a place on Park Avenue next year for the Ferris wheel.

Maybe we could add a freakshow to the Fall Festival.
