Things to do in Florida November 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012

Of the many Things to do in Florida November 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012 none are more important than those honoring the men and women who have sacrificed through military service for our country. There will be Veterans Day parades, fly-by's and music as well as memorial services for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. But whether you attend one of these events or not, please take a moment to recognize and appreciate the debt we owe these unselfish Americans. Remember also to pray for those currently serving and for their families. For patriotic individuals who happen to be in the Lakeland area looking for things to do in Florida November 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012 you should definitely check out the The Imperial Symphony Orchestra as Sun 'n Fun presents 'A PATRIOTIC TRIBUTE' on Saturday, November 10th. In addition to great music and other tributes paid our U.S. Veterans, they are also offering dinner at a reasonable price. Oh, and speaking of food, if you haven't yet made it to the 17th Annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, you only have until Nov 12th. Also for all you Ear Heads and for those just looking for some fabulous art, don't forget the 37th Festival of the Masters presented by Michaels® at Downtown Disney November 9 - 11. We could probably all do with some Disney right about now. We're Florahome USA - and we approve these things to do in Florida November 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012.

Music, food, art, theatre - things to do in Florida November 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012

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.

Music, food, art, theatre - things to do in Florida August 26, 27, 28, 2011

The City of Palatka

Palatka, Florida

So let's cut to the chase. For those not from around here, the city of Palatka, Florida is Florahome's nearest Walmart. Not that Florahome suffers from any Walmart envy - our Dollar General is just fine thanks, but if you're looking to buy a car or you'd like to see a movie before it comes out on DVD, Palatka is only a few minutes drive. Okay - it's just the one theater,... but still. Palatka also hosts the Azalea Festival every spring and if you keep up with Florida's events on Florahome USA's, Things to do in Florida list, you'll be seeing the Blue Crab Festival showing up there in May. The Blue Crab Festival is a major deal in Palatka as the weather heats up and Florida becomes Flip Flop World. No, Palatka doesn't have a Flip Flop World but if you're in the market, that big store they have there is currently offering rollback prices. "ATTENTION!!!... CUSTOMER NEEDS ASSISTANCE IN FLIP FLOPS!" Really, the City of Palatka, much like Florahome was always intended to be a wonderful place to live or visit and though in many ways they already are, both have had their share of setbacks and have yet to realize their full potential. Improvements continue to be made however and as the above picture indicates the city of Palatka is well on its way to becoming the North Central Florida jewel it was always meant to be.

___________________________________

For those planning to visit Palatka or if you'd just like to learn more, offered below are maps and other information to help familiarize you with the city.

For those unfamiliar with the area, the tiny bulls eye on the map above indicates where Palatka is located in the state of Florida.

Click to enlarge

If you enlarge the above map, you will see in the upper left-hand corner where Florahome is in relation to Palatka. Following Florida State Road 100 heading east from Florahome one of the first things you'll see as you reach Palatka is the Palatka Municipal Airport. The orange square on the map just to the right of the airport indicates the location depicted in the next map showing you have two options if you've just gotta have those flip flops.

Moody Road will take you straight to Walmart or continuing on to 19 and making a right will not only take you to Walmart but also Home Depot, Lowes, Krystal, The Golden Corral, the Mall,... well you get the idea. The Putnam Community Medical Center aka the hospital is indicated on the map by the red letter H, and the Library as well as St. Johns River State College are also in this same area. If you choose to stay on SR 100 or 'Reid Street', you may decide to check-in at The Holiday Inn Express in the west part of town or maybe the Budget Inn just a little further down on the right. You will also pass the old train depot which is now a model train museum for all you train buffs. Another point of interest in Palatka, FL frequently mentioned on Florahome USA and one you won't see just anywhere in Florida is Ravine Gardens State Park. Watch for the signs on the right as you near the downtown section. This next map depicts what has always been the City's main attraction even before William Bartram's famous travels, The St. Johns River, and here you will find more accommodations if you plan to hang around for a while.

The Bronson Mulholland house is also on this side of the bridge offering a chance to revisit a special chapter in Palatka history and discover what nineteenth century life in Florida was really like. The Blue Crab Festival and other events take place along the river and through the downtown area so this is the place to be if you happen to find yourself in the neighborhood around the latter part of May. Crossing the bridge into East Palatka, you'll see the Putnam County Fairgrounds along with favorite eating spots like Corky Bells Seafood Restaurant or Musselwhite's, but one thing you won't find is Walmart. Maybe they just don't wear flip flops on that side of the river.

For more about Palatka, Wikipedia provides an excellent overview of The City.

Things to do in Florida April, 8, 9, 10, 2011

This week's list of things to do in Florida April 8, 9, 10, 2011 - just like many of Florahome USA's other 'things to do in Florida' lists, has at least one event that generally grabs your attention causing you to scratch your head and say,... what? As for instance, last week's Florahome USA 'What?' award (just made it up) would definitely have gone to 'International Pillow fight Day'. This event celebrated with two marshmallowy donnybrooks in both Orlando and Jacksonville, FL is without question a greatly anticipated affair by pillow pugilists worldwide, but for those of us out of the loop,... well. At any rate, The video of the Jacksonville bout shown below was chosen for its shorter length but the one in Orlando along with many others all around the world can also be viewed on YouTube. Though opinions may vary, after scanning the list of things to do in Florida for April 8, 9, 10, 2011, Florahome USA is giving this week's, What? award to the Sopchoppy Worm Gruntin’ Festival. Just as the small town of Bostwick FL has risen to fruity fame for its annual Bostwick Blueberry Festival Sopchoppy is fast becoming synonymous with worm gruntin'. Of course it's also clear they have a great sense of humor and the festival promises to be a lot of fun. For those looking for some great music this weekend, other things to do in Florida April 8, 9, 10, 2011 include the Florida Music Festival in Orlando, Ricky Martin performing in Miami on the 9th with Lady Gaga also in Miami on the 13th, the multi/ultra-talented Harry Connick Jr appearing in locations from Miami to Naples - and the list of other upcoming musical events in Florida goes on. There are also more county fairs to enjoy this week and more things to do in Florida April 8, 9, 10, 2011 than can be listed. So start planning now and have a great time this weekend - and if you're not too busy, send us some pictures from Sopchoppy!

If your looking for things to do in Florida March 11, 12, 13, 2011
put on something green because one quick look at this week's list and you'll know Florida is going green in a big way for St. Patrick's Day 2011. Though officially St. Patrick's Day is not until March 17th, the celebrating will begin early with festivals, parades and all sorts of Celtic merry making going on in nearly every part of the state. Of course you need not be Irish to participate as most Americans will happily celebrate anything as long as there's food and drink involved. It does however enrich the experience knowing what the hoopla is all about, so if you're not acquainted with St. Patrick or bonny Erin of old, check out St. Patrick's Day.com to get the gist of what's going on. Other things to do in Florida this Mar 11, 12, 13, 2011 are a continuation of celebrations from last week with the flower show at Epcot still drawing thousands. And while we're on the subject - be sure to see Florahome USA's Florida Gardens post listing many of Florida's best gardens. Biker's are also currently in hog heaven with more events scheduled in Daytona, Orlando and other Bike friendly places here in Florida this week. The Sumter County Fair also opens this weekend along with the County Fair in Okeechobee, so get ready for those if your close enough to attend. With gas prices being what they are - or what they were on the gas prices page ten minutes ago, it's good that there ARE so many things to do in Florida March 11, 12, 13 2011. Hopefully you'll find something close to you. Have fun!

The Things to do in Florida list is usually posted every Wednesday.
