S For Story/10474323
FORT MYERS, Fla. - s4story -- Did you know that Fort Myers once had a dance hall in the middle of the Caloosahatchee River? Or – did you know that 75 students formed a singing Christmas tree for years that performed for former President Dwight Eisenhower?
These and other little known memories about the early days of Lee County will be revealed at the Annual Cracker Dinner Monday, May 10, at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre at 1380 Colonial Boulevard.
Long-time resident Genevieve Bowen researched some of the area's oldest residents to obtain memoirs for the annual dinner, hosted by the Southwest Florida Historical Society.
Mike Pcolar and Bonnie Chappelle will be the storytellers for the evening, which brings together pioneers of Lee County along with newcomers who are curious about the area's past.
The presentation will be accompanied by music performed by Barbara Peterson at the piano with vocals by Roger Peterson, John Goulet and Beverly Cox.
