Things to do in Florida August 17, 18, 19, 2012

It's a serendipity list of Things to do in Florida August 17, 18, 19, 2012. Serendipity, according to whatis.com is the act of finding something valuable or delightful when you are not looking for it. That definition would definitely fit the Morean Arts Center's 2nd Annual Great St. Pete Cupcake Contest on August 18th. What makes this event so serendipity is that it was created in celebration of National Cupcake Day which nobody on the web seems to agree has been officially declared. Not that anyone's complaining - cupcakes are delightful no matter how you happen upon them. Also while looking for things to do in Florida August 17, 18, 19, 2012 you may want to observe 'National Honeybee Day'. This one MUST be real since it has its own website and everything. That's as it should be with honeybees a major factor in our food supply and well deserving a day of their own. Speaking of food, one last serendipity treat in Florida this week is the Broadway Kids Studio's 'Little Shop of Horrors' in Fort Lauderdale. FEED ME SEYMOUR!!!   Don't miss it! Don't miss it! Don't miss it!  Oh and by the way, August 18th is also Serendipity Day, so if you find some valuable or delightful things to do in Florida August 17, 18, 19, 2012 even if you're not looking for it, you'll know why.
