Shellabration! 2012, from Feb. 26 to March 4, not only “shellabrates” the 75th anniversary of the Sanibel Shell Show & Fair, but also the islands’ shell-bent predilection. Sanibel Island, which has been named the best shelling beach in the U.S. and one of the best in the world, hosts shelling enthusiasts from around the globe each year for this annual event. The festivities will kick off with a mass Sanibel Stoop event beginning at 10 a.m. on Feb. 17 on Bowman’s Beach, Sanibel Island.Come out to break the 208-person Guinness Book World Record record!
On Feb. 26, the Shell Fair & Show tradition returns to its roots at The Matthews, today the historic Island Inn. Traditions on the Beach, the inn’s restaurant, will host a gala “shellegant.”
Fair activities start Wednesday with a Judges Reception Dinner at the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum. The public is invited. The following day, the three-day affair runs as it has for decades, with a free fair outside and a show ($3 donation) inside of hobby shell-crafters, professional shell artists, and scientific collections. Hours are Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 200 exhibitors are expected in the 2012 competitive show.
Shellabration’s grand finale on March 4 features a local actor in the role of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, whose highly revered Gift from the Sea, written on Sanibel’s sister island, Captiva, compares the stages in a woman’s life to seashells on the beach. An ice cream social follows the one-woman play.
