On November 1st, Weeki Wachee Springs became a Florida state park. Here, Tommy Ervin, inaugural park manager, and two current mermaids take part in a weekend jazz fest held at the park.
I wish Mr. Ervin all the best in his future efforts and look forward to visiting Weeki Wachee for decades to come.
