America just turned 250. TradeWinds_Resort is celebrating with a huge American flag on the beach! 🇺🇸☀️🏖️ Every July 4th, the crew transforms the beach behind the resort into a giant flag mosaic — red and blue dyed towels, white ones, and 50 starfish standing in for stars. It started as one idea from Bob McManaway, a veteran and former director of plant operations who’s since retired, but the tradition stuck around. Guests get to help place the towels. Watching a beach turn into Old Glory one towel at a time hits different on a big anniversary year. Happy 250th, America. 🫡🇺🇸 #TradeWinds #IndependenceDay #StPeteBeach #VisitSPC #America250
