Lee County Parks and Recreation "A Day on the Blueway" Receives State Award

Lee County Parks and Recreation Department was awarded a Media Excellence Award from The Florida Recreation and Park Association, a statewide non-profit organization representing local government parks and recreation interests in the State of Florida.

"A Day on the Blueway" won the Media Excellence Award in the Photography category.  Awards chair Terri Owen stated, "This publication highlights both the beauty and the benefits of the Great Calusa Blueway, a 100 mile paddling trail along Lee County's Coast.  Photos of the Blueway include real life paddlers in safe boating equipment and send the message of safety, while capturing the beauty of the Blueway."

Betsy Clayton, Waterways Coordinator for Lee County Parks and Recreation, accepted the award at the Association's August 30, 2007 Awards Ceremony.

Twelve agencies submitted for the Media Excellence Awards in five categories.
