Pompano Beach, Florida Lionfish Derby!

[fdarden]

Hello!
I wanted to make everyone aware that the 1st Pompano Beach Lionfish Derby will be happening this Saturday, the 25th of August. More information can be found at the link below. Family and friends, and non-divers are also welcome at the awards ceremony that evening, where prizes will be given out, and local restaurants will be competing with one another and serving their favorite Lionfish dishes to the public. It's going to be a great time, so sharpen your pole spears, get your Zookeepers ready, and let's kill some Lionfish for two great causes, Pompano's ShipWreck Park, and Pompano's historic Sample-McDougald house. See you there!

The Taste of Shipwreck Park
