Always a fun time…
Key West’s renowned Fantasy Fest, scheduled Oct. 20-29, is more meaningful than ever this year. Why? Because it demonstrates Florida Keys residents’ spirit, resilience and determination to celebrate life and creativity -— even after Hurricane Irma’s unwelcome visit in early September.

Hurricane Irma made a most unwelcome visit to the Florida Keys on Sept. 10 and Keys leaders have deemed that visitors can now return to the island chain. We know that not all areas are fully recovered, especially the hard-hit Lower Keys (northeast of Key West to the Seven Mile Bridge), but we want you to keep and make new plans to visit those hotels and attractions that are open. Keys tourism council marketing director Stacey Mitchell explains. All footage is shot Oct. 1, three weeks after Irma. #flkeys #floridanow #keysrecovery

While we still don’t know much about how the larger population count has been affected, many deer have been spotted. If you happen to be driving on Big Pine Key — where most of the deer live — anytime in the near future, please exercise extra caution, as the fence along US1 that kept them off the roadway for a few miles is largely down. The nighttime speed limit is 35 mph for that reason. Thanks!
Many of you have asked how the Key deer managed through Irma. We thought we’d share some of the beautiful pics taken by MyFWC :
“While assisting with relief efforts for Keys residents impacted by Hurricane Irma, I was lucky enough to see some endangered Key deer! It was inspiring to see several of these small deer in No Name Key despite the devastation caused by Irma.” (Carol Lyn Parrish, South Region Public Information Coordinator)

The hospital’s animal rehabilitation staff with the U.S. Coast Guard and assisted with the rescue. #keysrecovery #seaturtles #floridakeys #floridanow
