pet night at the bight

I dreamed I was a fly on the wall at homeland security. . .

"Hey!! Who's that guy hangin' out and drawing a crowd down at the bight?
He's wearin' a red suit, could be some kind of Communist!
And look at the long hair and his beard!
I bet he's some hippie throw-back protesting the wars!!

. . .And what's in that pipe he's smoking??"

"And look at this, he's got a helper!
Looks like she's recruiting some radical reindeer militia member!!
. . .and right under the navy's nose!!"

"We'd better raise the threat level from green to red and break out the water cannon!!!"

Oh No, No, No and Ho, Ho, Ho my paranoid patriots, it's "Just 4 Kids" Pet Pictures with Santa Night at the Bight. Just one of the many events that have been part of the "Bight Before Christmas" Celebration.
(I was a fly on the wall there too. . . a fotograpic fly)

There were doggie-dogs and kitty-cats and pets of all persuasions.
(Someone even brought their hamster.)

All those doggies!
The only thing more popular than Santa, was this tree.

At this time of year, it's hard to miss the house on the corner of Ashe St. and Angela.
For the whole month of December it is decked out with toy trains, singing penguins, dancing snowmen, talking trees, Christmas lights and the biggest Santa in Key West!

Shirley and L.T. do a righteous display and it's a "must see" for anyone living in or passing through town. I've visited every year since I've been in town and this year I donned my "gay apparel", took a few pictures and schmoozed them together with music and a little video.

Happy Merry to all "and to all a good night!"
