Examples include Saturdays in the Park with Artists and Authors, (beginning Nov. 7) the first Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the continuation of our popular Farmers Market every Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., located under the oak trees on the corner of 14th Avenue and 21st Street. The community looks forward to our Downtown Friday events held 4-5 times annually, and of course the annual Hibiscus Festival which will be held on April 16 and 17, 2010. We have a number of exciting plans on the drawing board for 2010 including the re-establishment of the old Florida Theatre. We look to the people in the community to join us in our mission.”
