Bead Bonanza

Bindi Schield and her dog, Penny, had some friendly competition in late April at the De Soto Parade. The two spent time during the parade seeing who could collect more beads. It appears Penny might be the winner. Bindi is the daughter of Longboat Key paramedic Zach Schield and is the granddaughter of Longboat Key senior planner and resident Steve Schield.
