Things to do in Florida July 22, 23, 24, 2011

Surprise! It's the Christmas list of things to do in Florida July 22, 23, 24, 2011. Well okay, it's Christmas in July but still,... with all the gloomy news out there, we could all probably use a little Christmas just this very minute, and Sebring, Florida is bringing it by the sack full to Kenilworth Lodge July 22nd and 23rd. Sebring is not alone either, also spreading the good cheer a little early this year, Penny University is having its 'Caribbean Christmas in July' at St Mary Magdalen Church in Altamonte Springs. Who says snow and flip flops don't mix? And as you probably already know, it's always Christmas in one special spot in Orange County, FL - Christmas, Florida. Famous for answering tons of letters with their Christmas postmark, there's a lot more to the place than just answering mail - like the Jungle Adventures Nature Park where you'll get an up-close and personal view of Florida's wildlife. Just look for Swampy, the World's Largest (200 ft) Alligator. YIKES! You can also take a step back in time and explore Florida's past at Fort Christmas in Christmas, FL - a rare glimpse of the state you won't see at Disney World, but close enough to the Mouse House for fairly short side trip. And for those who think it's just too early for reindeer on rooftops and eggnog, there are a few other things to do in Florida July 22, 23, 24, 2011 just as fun and though sometimes hard to find these days, many of them family friendly as well. Willy Wonka's playing at the Alhambra in Jacksonville, and in Tampa on the 22nd, you've got Seussical the Musical, Jr. at the Stratz, a laugh HARD-ee take on the good Doctor where kids themselves get in on the act. Then there's a very affordable date with the kids at the 'SING-ALONG WIZARD OF OZ!'- part of the Summer Classics event now going on at the Florida Theatre in Tampa. As a matter of fact, why don't we just get those lazy vocal chords in shape right now. Oh come on you ccccoward, stand up and sing - you know the words. Weeeeeee're. Come on LOUDER! WEEEEEEEEE'RE -
off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, be-caaaaaause
Because of the wonderful things he does
YA DA DA DA DA DA DA - BOOM BOOM!
We're off to see the wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of OooooooooooZ!
