Things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011

While looking for things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011, you may also want to clear your calendar for October 24th through the 30th - especially if you live in or near the Sarasota, Florida area. Whether you're a current or former resident of Sarasota, or maybe plan to visit Florida's Sun Coast the latter part of this month, this is your opportunity to pay tribute to the man considered the Father of Sarasota, John Hamilton Gillespie. With featured events from golf which Mr. Gillespie himself brought to the state of Florida, to music and dance celebrating his Scottish heritage, The 2nd Annual Owen Burns Celebration honoring John Hamilton Gillespie promises to be the perfect time to enjoy memories of old Sarasota as well as a chance to make some new memories with family and friends. As for this coming weekend, there are bookoodles of things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011. Halloween is already creeping up on us with SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular or Fright Nights at Florida's famous Silver Springs. Even nearby Gold Head State Park will get you in the the spooky spirit offering a Haunted Moonlight Hike this coming Saturday. And for the squeamish among us, there's ARToberFEST in Palatka along with a cornucopia of other Oktoberfests and fun things to do in Florida October 7, 8, 9, 2011. Yes, the list is a bit long this week but take a look and take a break - Fall 2011 is HERE!


Join us in Sarasota, FL October 24 - 30, 2011 for great food, stirring Scottish music and lots more as we celebrate John Hamilton Gillespie Week! To learn more, visit our website.
