This Week!

We're excited about this week as the 4th Annual Florida Gulf Coast Dulcimer Retreat takes place starting Thursday at the Homosassa Riverside Resort! It's not too late to register for four days of workshops with me, Guy George, Sharrie George and Richard Ash. Sponsored by Folkcraft Instruments, this is a laid-back retreat with plenty of time to relax, go kayaking, swimming with manatees and jam to your hearts' content. Lodging is near-capacity at the resort, but there are other places nearby to stay. See you in Old Florida soon!

Chartered fishing trips are available as well as manatee swims and watches. Airboat rides are a Florida tradition and there are several pilots in the marina. Nearby are the Yulee Sugar Mill remains as well as the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park with its famous "fishbowl" underwater viewing area of the springs.
