We’re feeling the love from the great feedback. Our goals were to entertain, educate, and engage our membership and the public, and raise money for our 2021 grants program. Missions accomplished!
The amazing Virtual Sanibel Shell show has had over 5,000 views so far this premiere weekend from 27 states plus Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. Before the show started we had lots of viewers waiting, and it was fun to chat with everyone through YouTube, email, and website comments.

What a delight. Thank you to all for such a wonderful virtual show. I am still watching and I love knowing I can review it online again!
Thank you for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed it. All Virtual Show videos are available to view again and again on our Shell Show Videos webpage or on our Sanibel Shell Club YouTube channel.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I needed that in this cold and isolated time. If all goes as planned I will be there in person in 2022!!!
So happy to get your comment that you enjoyed our Virtual Shell Show. It was a huge success and we couldn’t be happier! See you at the next in-person Sanibel Shell Show.
Saving up now for next year’s event. Hopefully I’ll have some items for submission as well. I deeply appreciate everyone’s hard work. Online presentations, especially editing, contains hours and hours of work. Now, if only I lived there. Lol.
Thanks for the nice comments about our Virtual Shell Show. The hard work paid off by receiving such overwhelming positive response! Be watching for the 2022 Sanibel Shell Show exhibitor packet and application to be posted here on our website sometime in late summer.
