It’s never too hot to eat fruit in the summer, so head on over to the Fruit and Spice Park for their Redland Summer Fruit Festival this weekend. I don’t know about the other vendors, but Farmer Margie will be selling melons, melons, melons! She went to C&B Farms up by Clewiston and loaded up with end of season cantaloupes, cute “personal size” round watermelons, and giant winter melons that she’ll sell by the wedge. There will also be organic eggs, honey from the bees that live on the farm, fresh herbs and a few other interesting things.
The event looks like a whole lot of fun for the whole family. There’s balloon tossing for the kids, and fruit sampling for kids of all ages, a petting zoo, sack races, live bluegrass bands, along with ice cold fruit smoothies and chocolate-topped strawberries on the menu. Did I mention the pony rides? And melons, you can’t forget the melons!
