Whats in the Pirate Chest for Tampa?: The Economic Impact of Gasparilla

Description

So what do those pirates do for us? Join Donald J. Barnes, the Executive Officer for the Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla to take a look back at the 121-year history of Gasparilla and a look into the current economic impact Tampa's signature annual event has on the local community.
