Mt. Pleasant ‘Blessing of the Fleet’ 2008

image of a clown We all had a great time yesterday at Alhambra Hall for the annual Blessing of the Fleet. I’ve never seen so many people there, something spurred on by the awesome weather I’m sure.

It was also cool to see some turtles – or were they tortoises? – and some slithery snake bracelets brought in by local animal lovers.

Unfortunately, all the money being spent here isn’t gonna be much help for Shem Creek’s shrimping boats if these gas prices stay so high and the amount of shrimp out there keeps dwindling.

Of course I took a bunch of pictures while I was there, click the clown to see a gallery of 27 of them.
