ORG XMIT: FLAN101 In this photo released by the Florida Keys News Bureau, entrants in the Conch Republic Bed Race propel their entry down Duval Street Saturday, April 25, 2009, in Key West, Fla. The wacky event was one of the closing activities in the 10-day long Conch Republic Independence Celebration. The festival commemorates Key West's 1982 "secession" from America, after the United States established a surprise roadblock at the top of the Florida Keys Overseas Highway ostensibly searching for illegal drugs and aliens.
