Brandon Seafood Festival 2015 Set for Saturday

Fish and seafood lovers might want to set a course for Brandon on Saturday.

The Brandon Seafood Festival kicks off Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. at Rotary’s Camp Florida, 1915 Camp Florida Road. Sponsored by the Brandon ’86 Rotary Club, the 23rd annual southern fish fry is a fundraiser for the club’s charity activities, including helping eliminate polio globally.

Tickets are $25 at the door for adults with a discount for kids ages 12 to 17. The price includes access to the all-you-can-eat fried fish, boiled shrimp, hush puppy and coleslaw buffet. Hot dogs and hamburgers will also be available for the kids.

In addition to the food, the day features 14-person monster canoe races, a pie-eating contest and more.

Once known as Denizens of the Deep, the fish fry is the club’s biggest event of the year. The fun, and food, continue through until about 5 p.m. on Saturday.
