Things to do in Florida October 14, 15, 16, 2011

Palatka RailFest 2011 Train Show

There are more things to do in Florida October 14, 15, 16, 2011 than you can shake a stick at.   uh,... better make it a big stick - that is if you plan to be anywhere near San Antonio FL this coming weekend.  OH NO!,... OH YES! - it's time again for the Rattle Snake Festival! That's right - the Rattlessssssnake Festival!!!   And with Halloween fast approaching, that's just one of the many events on this week's list of things to do in Florida definitely not for the squeamish. Or the more sensible as they may see it, as in - the kind of people who wonder why those idiots in horror stories choose to stay in a haunted house when a tent from L.L. Bean would be preferable to blood dripping down the wall. For you, there's just as much fun to be had this week in Florida with one new attraction in particular just perfect for the kids. It's the opening of LEGOLAND October 15th in Winter Haven, FL offering youngsters and youngsters at heart a place to explore a whole family friendly world of Lego adventure. Other things to do in Florida October 14, 15, 16, 2011 range from art shows to the Palatka RailFest 2011 Train Show not that far from Florahome. There are also a good many fairs and festivals providing a colorful and often tasteful welcome to the Fall. For newbies to Florahome USA, please take note of the other posts listed at the bottom of this one with even more things to do in Florida - like the 'Theatres and Performing art Centers in Florida' post with many performers already taking the stage for a whole new season of live entertainment. Yes, the weather was abysmal this past weekend, but hopefully with a little luck, Mother Nature we'll be kinder this coming weekend with a virtual trainload of new things to do in Florida October 14, 15, 16, 2011. Have fun!
