April is my all time favorite month. Weather is wonderful. The flowers are amazing. It’s the BEST!
We had originally planned on having the Homosassa Mullet Toss and Spring Festival in April but just couldn’t get all the permits together in time. But May will be good. Put it on your calendar. May 15th. 10 am to 5 pm. We have a DJ followed by a live band. Dead Fish throwing for distance and into a toilet. Food Trucks. Hippie Chic Cheesecake. Jessica MacRae returns to the FREE kid zone with so many great games and amazing prizes to pass out. Local artists and crafters. OH yeah, and no entry fee.
And have I yet mentioned Gil Watson?????? Our local amazing high energy artist is creating the trophies and so much more.
Hoping that I can reveal more of the fun stuff planned next week.
And all the proceeds go to the Homosassa Civic Club for the many programs they sponsor.
One of those programs is the Old Homosassa Learning Center. (My favorite project–I’m the chairperson of the committee) All programs for kids are free. Plus we have adult sessions. Ukulele and Sew Cool & Crafty are at no cost. The instructors for yoga, belly dancing, and zumba charge $5 a class and all that goes to them.
The programs for the kids include individual tutoring and the summer camp. We do pay the teachers that provide that service. Because they are teachers. With Master’s Degrees. Because the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival was canceled we do not have the funds to continue these programs. We reached out to our community a few weeks ago and the response was amazing. We can increase tutoring plus hold the summer camp for six weeks! Yippee!
I’m closing with some snaps I took yesterday afternoon. Hope you love April as much as me!
