Labor Day weekend was spent honoring “heroes in action” at Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key, as the vacation hotspot put on a weekend of events to pay tribute to members of the military, fire rescue, police and medical personnel who serve our community and country. The morning of Sept. 3 found nearly 100 runners and walkers taking to the streets of Duck Key just after sunrise for the Heroes Salute 5K run and walk, with several “fully loaded” first responders entering the race themselves.
Festivities for the rest of the weekend included live music, a video tribute to honor fallen heroes, games and fireworks for resort guests and locals alike.
