2015 Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival
It was a lot of work but so much fun! Here’s just a few of the hundreds of pictures I took this weekend.
“Shades of Gray” was the first entertainment.
Followed by Cat Valentine
People of all sizes love live music!
Some of the worker bees from OHHC.
This little kitty snuck up on us in the dining room.
I heard “I’m a Kitty!”
And I turned around and said “NO PETS ALLOWED!”
And then I stumbled on more kittens.
And some patriotic boys.
“I’m Batman!”
The Learning Center was giving out ducks! “Surprise Mom and Dad, got me a duck!”
Three of our volunteers taking a well deserved break.
Artwork from one of my favorite little girls at the Learning Center.
The weekend closed with “Under the Willow”, a bluegrass band from Chicago that winters in Homosassa.
After all the months of planning and all the work of actually putting it together, this was definitely the best festival EVER!
National Wildlife Refuge Day at Three Sisters Springs
Terry and I attended the annual National Wildlife Refuge Day at Three Sisters Springs. There were numerous informational booths and the bluegrass band, Shade Tree Pickers provided entertainment. The real star of the day was the new wetlands that was recently completed by SouthWest Florida Water Management District. The area will clean water run off from the businesses on US 19 from Three Sisters Springs Blvd all the way to Fort Island Trail.
Water that has been cleansed in the wetlands goes through this spillway into the canal. The bars keep the manatees out of the area because the wetlands are tidal and the manatees could get stranded in very little water.
The entrance to Three Sisters Springs. Kayakers, swimmers, and manatees all share this inlet.
The former Lake Lynda, it’s now Lake Crystal.
