Heading to Summer in FL…What to do…

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, the Sugar Sand Festival on Clearwater Beach is awesome!   It’ll take you about an hour to go view all the exhibits (it is under a tent) and then maybe you want to spend the rest of the day at the beach… and/or the Clearwater Aquarium is assume too!  We had lunch at Crabby’s(on the 3rd floor).. awesome view of the area and good food.  Frenchy’s is also recommended as a dining establishment. 

And this week I give you some ideas on what to expect around Citrus  County in the summertime. Some of the dates have not been updated yet but if you’re interested in them, I do provide a website, even though the websites are not quite up-to-date for 2025.

Black Diamond Reese NORRIS will perform at the Homosassa Distillery on Friday, May 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 PM
