Vinik, Ruth Eckerd Hall seek to manage new Clearwater amphitheater

Groups with local ties in the community are vying to manage the new amphitheater that will be built in downtown Clearwater.

The amphitheater is a key part of the city's $84 million Imagine Clearwater development, which aims to transform Coachman Park on Drew Street into an urban waterfront park development for recreation and entertainment uses that would help attract residents and tourists to an underutilized part of downtown.

Vintage Pinellas: Making the ‘Dolphin Tale’ movies

The story of Winter, the young bottlenose dolphin rescued on the east coast of Florida and brought back to life at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, resonated around the world. After she lost her tail flukes from entanglement in a crab trap line, the animal was fitted with a custom-made prosthesis, and trained to swim with it.

Winter was saved by a dedicated team of marine biologists, scientists and volunteers.
