Plenty of Boat Drinks For This Conch Republic Party
Rum for reef relief.
A pub crawl for ocean preservation.
I’ll drink to that, of course!
And on Saturday, Sept. 23, you can, too.
If you are in the Conch Republic, join the second annual Conched in Key West Bar Crawl benefiting Reef Relief for the preservation of the world’s coral reefs.
It starts at 2 and goes to nine bars. And with lots of rum and drink specials, it pretty much ends when your body decides it ends.
The cost is $30 and includes a t-shirt, drink specials, a Cruzan Rum cup and a donation to the non-profit organization.
Here’s the schedule (more or less, times subject to slight change depending on how much fun the people are having at any particular location):
