Capen, Caboose Mikey and Erin from local historical society portraying the second Mrs. <br />
Henry Flagler. We had a surprise visit from Jeff and Jacob Smith too. <br />The 101 coming by with the beautiful business cars simply added icing to the cake. <br />Our FECRS was well represented and did a fantastic job entertaining 296 visitors, thanks <br />
