It’s next Saturday!!!

The Homosassa Mullet Toss and Spring Festival is sneaking up on us! But we are ready!

Just got to see the t-shirts today.

This green version is made out of “dri-fit”. Very much in demand. You can wear it scalloping. Boaters will see you a mile away! $30.

The latest event schedule.

Continuing in the policy of the Homosassa Civic Club and the Old Homosassa Learning Center, for all kids (12 and under) the festivities are free! They will be crafting, painting, and playing games. Winning great prizes. Also, they get one FREE mullet toss!

No entry fee but please do not bring coolers, food, or your pets.

There will be several food trucks along with the boy scouts selling hotdogs and hamburgers. Beer and wine plus a bloody mary and mimosa bar.

As you can see on the schedule, there will be entertainment on the stage and you get an opportunity to paint your own mullet with Gil Watson–our famous local artist.

All proceeds go back to the community. Mainly for the Children’s Outreach and Beri Hagerty-Phelps Scholarships. The civic club just awarded 8 students $1000 each to further their education.

And to close, here’s a double rainbow from yesterday.

Have a great weekend.

Some Daily Pics

I think this is a Stella D’Ora Daylily. When we moved here there were a few planted under shady live oak trees. Looking spindly and sad. Daylilies LOVE the sun. I moved them to a sunny area along the canal. Then had to move them again when we built the sea wall and they lived in pots for a year. Planted them in another sunny spot where they have survived several floods of brackish water. These plants do persevere. Happy sunny faces.

So much Fun! And Games!

Gil Watson, local artist, created this mullet for adult trophies.

I was asked to make “softie” trophies for the winners of the kids’ divisions. Here they are, inspired by Gil’s mullet!

One of the games is a “punch” board. You pay $20 and get an envelope with a prize ticket. All prizes are worth at least $20. (I’ve heard that there are a few $50 bills on the board. ) I made a small tote for that game along with a six-pack of Sprite.

That little blue worm-like creature is supposed to be a mullet.
