Swampy joined fans of the television program, ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ in Cocoa Beach Saturday for the annual “Jeannie Day”. The event was held at the old Mousetrap watering hole, now a ‘Durango Steakhouse’.

The series  took place in Cocoa Beach, though practically none of the series was filmed in Florida. Throughout the five seasons of the program Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral, now Kennedy Space Center, are often the focus as the series was about astronaut Major Tony Nelson and his friends at the base and there troubles after Nelson finds a Jeannie in a bottle.

At the midday event here were stories Cocoa Beach and the television series, film and a recorded ‘Hello’ from Jeannie herself, Barbara Eden.

There was even a look-a-like contest. Swampy is seen with the winner, above.

Barbara Eden’s favorite dessert is Key Lime pie, so Swampy gets in the mood of the day and digs into a slice.
