Yeah, it’s not summer on the calendar but Memorial Day usually marks the beginning. We can wear white now! Yippee!
Summmmmmertime and the living is easy…..
Not much going on this weekend other than the typical family and friend celebrations. Lots of BBQ. Lots of boats and noise on the river.
We’ll be taking it easy and keeping it quiet. No boating for us.
And here are my latest snaps!
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.
And for those that like regular t-shirts. This one is in gray. $20.
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.

Got more news on the mullet toss. Here’s the latest flyer. You might be seeing these posted all over the place!
And the flyer for the Cornhole Tournament!
There will be a “punch” board where for $20, you win something that’s worth at least $20. I know that there are at least two $50 bills on the board. Lots of gift certificates, jewelry and other fun stuff.
This isn’t just for adults. There is a FREE kid zone. Crafts. Games where the kids will win really nice prizes. Gil Watson is setting up a table for the kids to paint mullet. (not real fish)
There will also be an adult painting area to paint mullet. (not real) These are bigger. $10 charge.
Also a live auction with all kinds of cool packages to bid on.
And, of course, the actual tossing of mullet. (and these are real. But dead.) Two competitions on the tossing of the mullet. One for distance. The other into a toilet to win a golf cart.
The Crystal River Boat Builder’s club will have boats on display.
I’ll be doing the photography and running the t-shirt booth. Yes. I can mult-task!
The money raised will go towards the scholarship fund and other children’s programs at the Homosassa Civic Club.
And here are a couple of pics.
My first daylily of the year.
Rosey’s birthday. Lucky to be retired and have parties during the day!
Have a great weekend! Looks like it will be lovely!
