The society celebrated all things Jimmy Buffett and tropical shirts on Friday.

Through the sea of colorful leis and tropical button-up shirts, Joyce Swain’s DIY parrot hat stood out as a real symbol of the laid-back vibe captured during the Key West Party.

“I didn’t make the hat, and I didn’t make the bird,” Swain said of her craftiness. “I just put the two together.”

Hosted by the Ormond Beach Historical Society Friday night, the annual fundraising event sold out quickly as it did years before. Local residents sipped on Margaritas, raffled for beach-themed baskets and danced the night away at the Anderson-Price Memorial House.
