| Summary: | The first Sanibel Shell shows were competitions between the winter residents at the Sisters Hotel (later Casa Ybel Resort) and the Matthews Hotel (later the Island Inn) a couple of miles west along the beach. By 1909 the competitions were being reported in the Fort Myers newspaper, and attracted people to see the exhibits. This early exhibit includes Lion's Paws, in front of the woman, possible the Tayntor's. | |
