Tampa Bay is getting ready for an invasion. A pirates invasion that is. This upcoming Saturday is the long awaited Gasparilla parade celebrated by our city every year. People go crazy for beads and all other goodies being thrown at them! It is a fun time of the year, but it's defenitely for the brave! Yikes! If you will be going, go at your own risk, don't drink and drive... and think on all kinds of creative things you can do with your newly acquired beads!!! Just don't hang them from your rearview mirror people! Happy Decorating, Mina
