On Saturday, December 8th, Caretta and the North Myrtle Beach Sea Turtle Patrol Volunteers walked in the North Myrtle Beach Christmas Parade.
Caretta was designed and created by NMB STP Volunteer, Betty. Marilyn painted the SCUTES on the costume. What a GREAT JOB!!!
Early Saturday, Sherry, Steve, Bobby, Donna, Corrina and Sam, The Turtle Man, met to put the turtle float together.
Corrina donated her golf cart.
Sam's job was to get the banners ready. "Do you expect me to carry these all by myself?"
NMB STP Volunteers gather for the parade.
Is that Santa coming to check on us?
Caretta, Betty, John and their family. Thank You Betty!!!

The 2013 Sea Turtle Nesting Season is just around the corner!!
This is awesome. My husband and I have been to Myrtle Beach a few times. We have seen so many sea turtle nests. It really is neat to see. We finally decided to look in Myrtle beach for beach houses so we can see even more of the nests and the turtles. Thanks for being such a great cause!
