Everett will be joined by Jonathan 'Cattail' Vazquez, a noted alligator wrestler who has appeared on various television programs including History Channel's "Swamp Men."

Guests will even have the opportunity to interact with an albino baby alligator!

The Stranahan House was built in 1901, when Broward County was no more than a bleak southern frontier supposedly unsuited for human habitation. The existing residents were the Seminoles who traveled down the New River to Frank Stranahan's trading post to do business. Over the years as Fort Lauderdale grew and developed, the house became a post office, boarding house, restaurant and home to the "Founding Father" and "First Lady" of Fort Lauderdale - Ivy and Frank Stranahan. Today it stands as the oldest house in Fort Lauderdale and an epicenter of Broward County's long and fascinating history.
