The weekend of October 26th & 27th, was “spooktacular” in the Cove at Port Canaveral!

 

It was the fourth annual Port Weekend, presented by the Port Canaveral Association which is a non-profit organization that markets the businesses in Port Canaveral & the many port destinations. 

 

Friday night started with a Street Party hosted by the Cove businesses.   The Party included WJRR’s “Return of the Fiasco” and entertainment at each Cove establishment including a Halloween Costume Contest sponsored by SunCruz Casinos.  The Cape Kennedy Corvette Club put on a Classic Car Cruise-In where car enthusiasts came to show off and admire each other’s “rides.”

 

Saturday the Cove also hosted a variety of street vendors from our local community, lots of kids activities including a Halloween Costume Contest again sponsored by SunCruz Casino.  Then the competitive spirit really bloomed that afternoon, with the “Infamous” Bed and Bathtub Race sponsored by RJ Kennedy Construction. There were seven team entries this year and Fairvilla Megastore took first place, closely followed by Bombay Hair Salon.  For the second year in a row, Mickies Deli won the special prize for “Most Creative”.

 

Other team entries included:  Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill, Canaveral Port Authority, Rusty’s Seafood & Oyster Bar, Comfort Inn Cocoa Beach.
