Things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011


If you're looking for things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011 you may want to check the Gas Prices and Weather page on Florahome USA first to see what Irene is up to. At the moment, the latest hurricane to threaten Florida is a safe distance away but she may be paying us a visit by the weekend. Weather permitting however, there are plenty of things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011 starting at the top of the list with a tribute to one of Florida's hero inventors, John Gorrie. Referred to by many as the father of refrigeration for being granted the first Patent for mechanical refrigeration in 1851, we all owe this man a debt of gratitude for every cube of ice and every cooled brow. The Water Street Festival of Ice will be honoring Apalachicola's own August 27th and should not only be educational, but a whole lot of fun. For the sports fan looking for things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011 - baseball season is winding down now but doing so with style with clubs offering promotions ranging from free passes to live music, so get out to the park root! root! root! for the home team. And while on the subject of style, for those groovy, tie dyed flower children of the Woodstock generation who still put on their love beads and a Hendrix record occasionally (a what?), check out the Hippiefest Tour 2011 coming to a Florida coffee house near you. Of course all these things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011 depends on Irene, but until then, peace and love man.
