Florida City Week: Ice Cream Social at Town Hall!

Florida City Week is the Florida League of Cities' annual October effort to acquaint residents with the people who run their municipal governments, and Longboat Key's version leads with dessert. Town staff host an ice cream social at Town Hall, an informal chance to put faces to the departments behind permits, public works and the rest of island government. No registration is needed. The town's observance continues later in the week with a boating safety seminar and a blood drive, and in past years it has included Town Hall tours for schoolchildren and a document-shredding day.
