If you think you look like Hemingway or if you just want to witness the hopefuls, get an RV and cruise on down to Key West, Florida
July 17th to 20th will see Key West in a deluge of white bearded, barrel chested 'Papa's'. The hopefuls will crowd into 'Sloppy Joe's Bar' where the famous literate spent most of the 1930's sinking daiquiris.
The occasion also hosts a "Running of the Bulls" with Spain's fake counterparts as this was Hemmingway's beloved Fiesta and a competition devoted to the master's favorite sport, Marlin fishing. Cash prizes total over $250,000 so don't let it get away!!
Other festivities include a one-man play about 'Papa', tours of his home and writing studio, and in true Hemmingway fashion a short story competition. To add to the jovial feel , there may also be a wrestling contest! The whole 4 days are a lot of fun and definitely worth getting involved in. What better an excuse to head to the Florida sun and take a vacation.
Pick up an RV from your home city or elsewhere and make a road trip of it down to Key West! Find a special on the perfect RV for you and your friends or family at RV Rental Sale Finder!
Honor Hemingway and have fun!!
