The hot weather continued into July; however, the air conditioning was running full blast as Palmetto Moon was in the water. The first weekend of July is Croaker Festival and this was the first year we were able to attend. Saturday, July 7: we attended the tiny nautical flea market, and Jim looked at every item for sale and concluded he didn't need anything, or should I say didn't want anything. The parade started around 10 AM and we had been told that this was not a typical parade but was filled with crazy participants. We then wandered through the food stalls and crafts booths and decided to beat the heat by relaxing inside Palmetto Moon.
