Listing all the things to do in Florida Feb 18, 19, 20, 2011 simply isn't possible, but this list is the longest to date for Florahome USA. Of course for February 20th, it would be limited to a single event for some, namely the Daytona 500. It IS "The Great American Race" with perhaps the Indy 500 its only rival in auto racing importance. And if the race itself isn't incentive enough to attend, Brad Paisley will also be there adding to the show. Another event going on this weekend well known to locals is the Olustee Battle reenactment - an opportunity to witness for youself one of the toughest battles of the American Civil War fought right here in Florida. If history is your thing, then this is definitely your week with a second living history event as close as St. Augustine.  'A Day in Old Florida' is an event something like the recent 'Yesterday Festival' at Gold Head State Park providing a live glimpse into Florida's unique past. Heading farther south, you might also want to check out the 'Edison Festival of Light' celebrating the birthday of Thomas Edison - one of Florida's most famous former part-time residents. While his invention of the phonograph and the beginning of the recording industry was impressive enough, even that was dwarfed by Edison's incandescent light lifting mankind quite literally out of the dark ages once and for all. This too should be considered a not-to-be-missed event if your anywhere in the Fort Myers area this weekend. Click HERE to get a peek at the place this technological wizard and his family once called their 'winter' home. Really, all this is just a small sample of things to do in Florida Feb 18, 19, and 20, 2011. As was stated, the list is long so you best start your engines now because ladies and gentlemen, the checkered flag is fixin' t' fall!
