And what a great afternoon and evening it will be!  We'll start off with an open mike from 2 :00 to 3:00 P.M. so campers, RV'ers , neighbors and other park visitors can show their stuff.  Then we will fill four hours with some of South Florida's best string instrument players and Florida's First Lady Of Folk, Valerie C.Wisecracker.  To top it off, we'll end the show with audience participation in Contra Dancing. Like square dancing except each couple moves up or down the line so you have a new four person square after the routine; don't  worry, we'll teach you.  Then, a  campfire song circle from 7 to 9 P.M.  They'll be food for sale in case you won't be staying in the park.  Walk-ins and drive-ins welcome.  Come celebrate!
