Take note: Snowbird Season will soon be upon us.

Note as the 2018–2019 Fall/Winter Snowbird Season begins we’ll be seeing familiar faces once again at City Hall from past Seasons. They’ll be lining up at the podium during Public Comment telling everyone about the “Welcome Home” parties hosted by the good folks from the Residences of Lake Osborne west of I-95.

However, the happiest Snowbirds nest east of I-95 where most of the action, festivities, and activities occur. To learn more about the Neighborhood Assoc. Presidents’ Council click on this link. The NAPC is on Facebook as well and to see the location and borders of each of the sixteen neighborhoods use this link for the GIS map.

The advance Snowbird patrols are already here scouting out the City. So when can we expect the full flock?

You can just smell it in the air, the annual migration of mirthful and glorious Snowbirds on the way back to Central Palm Beach County escaping the cold in the northeast and Canada. In a letter to the editor(s) published in The Palm Beach Post one such Snowbird wrote,


     If the snowbirds did not fly south each winter, and if businesses didn’t have this income, your favorite place would not survive on your patronage. It’s the “snowbird effect” that keeps Florida going. [emphasis added]
     Appreciate that when we are gone, you have a chance to enjoy what a lot of us snowbirds contribute to and keep going — all year long.

And meet Mr. Jorge Pesquera, President/CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches:

The advance Snowbird patrols already here are cracking hilarious jokes about ‘red tide’ and the ‘red tide-apocalypse’. For example,


Q: Did you hear about the fight at the Lake Worth Beach about ‘red tide’?
A: Two fish got battered!

Q: How do you communicate with a fish off the Lake Worth Pier?
A: Drop it a line!


Scene. Under fishing boat captain’s quarters:

Knock Knock!

Who’s there?

‘Red tide’ water.

‘Red tide’ water is gone. Won’t be back til at least 2028.

I’m ‘red tide’. I’m still here.

Where are you ‘red tide’?

Down here! Water you waiting for? Turn on the bilge pump!

Get cracking on more ‘red tide’ jokes!
