Nik’s On the Wire at Key Club

Sarasota’s own Nik Wallenda — the 11-time Guinness World Record-holding high-wire artist and seventh-generation member of the Flying Wallendas — thrilled onlookers Friday with a breathtaking wire walk between buildings at The Resort at Longboat Key Club, serving as the spectacular centerpiece of the 30th Annual Phil Galvano Golf Classic. The sold-out charity tournament, hosted by former Florida Senate President Bill Galvano in memory of his father, benefits the Manatee Education Foundation, which has funneled more than $10 million into Manatee County classrooms over the past three decades.
