Today�s the Day � To Celebrate Mel!!!
Thursday, July 17th at 6:00 p.m.

The golden dream of treasure hunter Mel Fisher is alive and well and still celebrated in Key West every July.

The Kick-Off Party for Mel Fisher Days will take place Thursday, July 17th starting at 6:00 p.m. Come celebrate the day 23 years ago when Mel�s crews found $400 million in shipwrecked gold, silver and emeralds that had been sitting on the ocean floor for more than 300 years. The events combine stories of the hunt for the Spanish galleon Atocha, memories of the man, and a few of his favorite activities.

Throughout the night, more than $8,000 in Spanish Treasure Coins and Emeralds will be given away and live music is by C. W. Colt, the �Caribbean Country Blues Master�.

Anyone who remembers Mel remembers his fondness for beautiful women in minimal clothing. So the Miss Atocha Bikini Contest will be held in honor of the man who would most appreciate it. Grand prize will be an authentic Silver Grade Two Atocha coin (retail value $1,800). A Madagascar Emerald goes to both second and third place winners.

There will be a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Michael Abt, Jr. �Have a Heart Fund�; the goal is to supply Automatic External Defibrulators (AED) to schools in Florida, with prizes including authentic treasure coins from the Atocha, Margarita and 1715 fleets, and MORE!!!

For $15.00, take a chance to �Have your Cupcake and Eat It, Too!� in the Mel Fisher tradition. Treasure is buried in the winning cupcake -- you could sink your teeth into a Grade 2 Atocha coin worth $1,800! And the Mel Trivia Contest will test your knowledge of how well you knew Mel. Prizes will give be given to the winners throughout the night.

As Mel always said of Schooner Wharf Bar, �This place is a Treasure,� so come enjoy the evening at Mel�s favorite watering hole with the Fisher family, and treasure your own memories.
