Lots of fun stuff coming up in Old Homosassa!

Next Saturday, the 16th we have two events!

Shrimpapalooza! The Homosassa Ukers will be in the parade. I just finished the banner. Now I need to get some costumes stitched up!

If you haven’t been to the parade yet, it is a ton of fun. Decorated golf carts, crazy costumes, and beads! It’s Mardi Gras Homosassa Style!

The second event is the “Art in the Park” at the Old Mill Museum festival grounds. We went last year. It’s a chance for local artists to display their work.

Old Homosassa Community Day is scheduled for April 6th. I have several non-profit groups lined up plus applications are starting to come in for the Art & Crafts show. The American Legion Post 166 will be at the grill with hamburgers and hotdogs along with beer! Chuck Andrews will be running the Open Mic on the stage. Of course, the Homosassa Ukers will be performing! And just added a cornhole tournament which should be a bunch of fun!

If you would like to take part in the Arts & Crafts, go out to the website and download the application. It’s only $20.

On April 13th, the Homosassa Civic Club and Citrus County will be presenting our FIRST GOLF CART DRIVE IN MOVIE! If you don’t have a golf cart, just come on over with your chairs. Rural King is providing the popcorn! I went to this movie as soon as it came out and am looking forward to seeing it again!

Went to the Luminary Art Walk last Friday. This is so much fun–especially if you live in Old Homosassa. You get to catch up with all of your neighbors!

And here’s some snaps I took. Sometimes I use my iphone and forget to upload the pictures. Here’s one from February of Cracker. He occasionally helps out at TwoPopsCafe. He’s the greeter!

After coming off of near freezing temps here in Old Homosassa, this weekend we will be back to spring time. Get out there and enjoy our outdoors. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking. Perfect Weather!

Have a great weekend!

Spring is busting out all over here on the Nature Coast.

This is Bridal Wreath Spirea.  (At least I think that’s what it is) I’ve never planted it because it only has flowers for a few weeks and then looks like a scraggly bush the rest of the year.  This year it’s everywhere!  Just blooming like crazy all along the roads and paths.

My white azaleas are the same way.  Never have they been so beautiful.  I’m just guessing, but maybe these bushes needed that cold snap back in December to produce such lush flowers.

How about the Olympics?  I love the Winter version.  Any sport where the participants have to wear shiny pointy weapons on their feet and go really fast has gotta be fun to watch!  And then there’s curling.  And skiing.  Okay.  I could go on and on.

“Cocktail Hour for the Tower” was a huge success.  And a lot of fun.  Now we can turn our full attention to the 2nd Annual Old Homosassa Community Day on April 7th.  If you want a booth it’s only $20!!! What a deal!

Next event in Old Homosassa is the 18th Annual Luminary Art Walk on Friday, March 2nd.  We always try to make it to the art walk.  Lots of fun.

Okay, that’s it for me!

Have a great weekend!
