Hello! This month, we’re celebrating the Florida blueberry! We’re taking this super fruit to a whole new level with the very first Polk County Blueberry Fest on April 11. We partnered with Visit Central Florida to create a day for the blueberry, and it’s going to be a lot of fun for the entire family with live music, free BINGO, a pancake breakfast, and of course ... blueberry farms with fresh, local berries. Read more about the festival inside.
Shannon Carnevale and Anne Yasalonis share information about native blueberry plants and how to successfully grow them at home.
If you need a break from berries, we also visit Lugo’s Craft Distillery, Taco Riendo, and the Vanguard School. Join IV Horn for an exploration of Florida’s curious histories, unexplained events, and enduring mysteries in her new monthly column, “Florida Forteana.”
Look for the ads for the Photo Contest and the Great Polk Pet Showdown; I’ll be waiting for you to enter. Our Top Ten lists and the GoPolkGo.com calendar will keep you so busy
