Capt. Tony Days start Wed.
The second annual Captain Tony Days event will be Wednesday through Saturday.
The lighthearted festival commemorates "Capt. Tony" Tarracino, who owned the legendary Capt. Tony's Saloon, 428 Greene St., for nearly 30 years. A former charter boat captain, gambler and reputed gunrunner, he was mayor from 1989 to 1991 and died in 2008 at age 92.
Events include parties, a trivia challenge, film screenings, an art show and a reception with family members, culminating with the presentation of a $1,025 "life scholarship" in Tarracino's honor to a 2012 Key West High School graduate planning to learn from life without first attending college.
