More than 10,000 people flocked to the 10th annual Florida Keys Seafood Festival this past weekend. The festival is designed to strengthen the local fishing industry by showcasing their tasty local seafood harvested by Keys fishermen. FKCFA also provides scholarships to college bound children of local commercial fishermen. The winners of the seafood raffle, one of the many prizes at the event, were Christine Sostak and Kevin Chadman, who each took home $250 worth of seafood from local markets.
