Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” Well, I have some big news. If you didn’t already know, NBC’s “Dateline” is my favorite show. Ever since I was a young pup, I would crawl in bed with mom when she would watch, and it became my go-to for prime-time entertainment. To this day, every time I hear that opening theme and hear the host, I come running and jump in bed to watch. Mom thinks I’m taking notes on how to commit a crime. I think that’s ridiculous. Or is it?
Anyway, a recent GeoBeats video on me and the other foxes at Pawsitive Beginnings somehow made its way to NBC in New York and a staff member from Dateline sent my mom a message. They want to send me a “token of their respect and affection.” Those were their exact words. Holy smokes. Not too much gets my tail wagging, but I cannot wait to see what they send me. Maybe Keith Morrison will hand deliver it?
Anyway, I digress. So maybe you all saw that the Upper Keys Weekly is hosting the inaugural “Best of the Upper Keys.” There is a specific category that has my name all over it: “Best Local Celebrity.” I mean, don’t you think? I am famous. I am a fox. How many other famous foxes are there in Key Largo? Uh, none. So if you can vote for me I would appreciate it. Since you can’t write me in for honorary mayor of Key Largo this is the next best thing I think. Visit keysweekly.com/buk22 to vote on roughly 50 different categories.
This weekend is the Take Stock in Children Backcountry Fishing Challenge. It starts Friday, Sept. 23, and ends on Sunday, Sept. 25. To get all the info and registration details head to keylargorotary.org. This catch and release tournament supports the Take Stock in Children, which supports disadvantaged students with mentoring and scholarships.
Just a heads up, my mom’s birthday is on Saturday. She’s gonna be really old. Like 42 or something. So if you know her and see her out and about this weekend tell her happy birthday and that Reef spilled the beans on it.
Anywho, that’s all for this week. Until next time, Reef, over and out!
