Got shells? The Sarasota Shell Club does. Coming up on Friday, Feb. 15, Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 17 is their 45th annual Sarasota Shell Show, a three-day show held at the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium, 801 N. Tamiami Trail (US 41), Sarasota.
Admission is $4 and that gets you in the door all three days. Hours are 12:30 to 5 p.m. on Friday and 10 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday. You'll see local and worldwide seashells, fossils and shell art. Specimen shells and other shell-related items will be for sale.
If you want to give shelling a try while you are in Sarasota, check out the times of low tides at www.heraldtribune.com then click on "weather" and "local tide times."
Rather have someone to show you shell collecting? Take a look at the Web site for Peggy Williams of Tallevast, Florida. You can sign up for one of her shelling tours. A lifelong Floridian, Peggy has been seriously collecting shells for 35 years by wading, snorkeling and diving. |

I live in KS and would love come to a meeting to see what you have to show or discuss. I enjoy seashells and have purchased books and look forward to my next visit to the Sarasota area. Does one need to be a member or have an invitaion to attend a meeting? Of course there is nothing of the sort in KS or MO! Very curious about what you do. I will likely be in the area in the next couple of months, and am esepecially interested in doing a shelling fieldtrip. Thanks! Penny Johnson Overland Park, KS
