One unit of blood can save up to three lives. HEYWORD, a local band, will be in concert from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, so come early and stay late for lots of fun and festivities. Oh, and don't forget, our growers and crafters will be set up as usual all morning long with lots of Fresh From Florida produce and goods for sale.

We have been having a good selection of cottage foods available: jams, jellies, honey, cookies, breads and other pastries.
