Good Day!
Sooooooo…..
It’s the BIG WEEKEND OF THE HOMOSASSA ARTS, CRAFTS, AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL!
Lots of work but lots of fun because we have lots of volunteers. I’ll be in the t-shirt/information booth. And taking pictures. And at the gate. And……
Last Saturday was crazy busy!
Started out at the Veterans Service at the Old Homosassa Veterans Memorial.
Commissioner Ron Kitchen spoke. Usually one of the commissioners do. This time while he was speaking a very tall man with an even taller staff walked up to the podium and stood with the dignitaries.
I was like “who is that?” It was kind of scary with all the awful things going on.
He just stood there in his star spangled shirt and acted like he belonged until the Homosassa Elementary Chorus came out to sing and he strode out and announced “Jesus said let the little children come to me!”
Youth pastor, Troy Allen, then quietly pulled the guy aside. Troy was at least a head shorter than the trespasser so I was totally impressed! Shortly after that a deputy stepped in followed by a couple other deputies for backup.
All was good.
Then I went on to the Blues and BBQ event. Sarasota Slim, one of my favorite bands, opened the day up with a rock version of Star Spangled Banner. This same intruder marched up to the stage and stood front and center during the entire song. I alerted a volunteer but when the song was over the guy just walked off into the neighborhood.
So it was totally harmless. Probably just looking for his 15 minutes of fame.
But I’ll be on the look out for the guy at the festival!
Stop by to say hi! I’ll be in an orange shirt. As well all the other volunteers!
Have a great weekend!
