Offer Florida Keys locals the chance to get a free personal meet-and-greet with charismatic gray faces, and you’re bound to get a full house. On Sept. 6, Grassy Key’s Dolphin Research Center continued a tradition that began after Hurricane Irma in 2017, offering a Love our Locals Day for Monroe County residents. A day of educational presentations, food and drinks, face painting and meet-and-greets with DRC’s staff and animal family also offered free raffles for chances to get in the water and experience some dolphin playtime.
