Members of the Monroe County Sheriff s Office donned a different uniform on Nov. 16. A softball game at the Founders Park baseball field pitted the correction deputies against road deputies for some friendly competition on the diamond all to raise money for the Florida Keys History & Discovery Center in Islamorada. The road deputies came away with the victory over the corrections crew. The day also featured live entertainment, local craft vendors, face painting and other fun games. Local radio personality Dougie Hitchcock provided the play-by-play while Wood Campbell provided the sound equipment.
Proceeds support the museum and learning center, located on the property of the Islander Resort. The museum features exhibits on the rich pasts of people, places, legends and events that shaped the Florida Keys.
Saturday was as much a friendraiser as it was a fundraiser, said Rich Russell, board chairman for the Florida Keys History & Discovery Foundation. It was a perfect opportunity to bring more exposure to our community s History and Discovery Center. The message that we want to consistently promote is that the center belongs to our community and we want it to be a constant source of pride for all.
