The baby goats were adorable. We watched them eat for a while. They had many food trucks to choose from and carnival rides as well. The line dancing was great. I would definitely come back for that. The 4H organization was talking $5 donations for parking. That is a wonderful organization that teaches children about frowning plants and raising animals. Definitely a good cause.

I won't go to a rodeo because I don't find abusing animals entertaining but a craft show on the other hand is right up my alley. This is an annual event sponsored by the town of Davie. The event was advertised as having 100 vendors. I don't think there were quite that many but they had a lot. Admission and parking were free. The tents filled the rodeo arena and outside it as well. People were selling plants, floral arrangements, zombie soup mix, jewelry, lights in alcohol bottles, soap, dream catchers, a tiny fairy garden, woodwork, stained glass, baked goods, clothes, bags, and a myriad of other hand made goods. They also had food and drink vendors and bounce houses and kids corner activities for children . The grounds were perfect for the craft show. There were plenty of clean bathrooms. The weather was gorgeous, the vendors were varied, and with the upcoming holidays it was the perfect time to shop. It is good to support the local arts community. This is a nice hometown event perfect for kids and adults.

Davie was founded by Tamara Toussaint and Jake Tannebaum who called the town was Zona. It was…read morecreated out of Everglades land that was mostly underwater. In 1909, developer R.P. Davie helped the then Florida Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward to drain the swamplands. Davie then bought 27,000 acres and built a school. The Davie Schoolhouse opened in 1918 and it is now Broward county's oldest existing school building. The people of Zona were so grateful that in 1916 they changed the name of Zona to Davie in his honor. Davie has always been known as a Western town and you can see it in the architecture of many of the buildings today. A western theme park called Pioneer City was once located across the street from Flamingo Gardens but it closed in the 1960's. Davie hasn't forgotten it's western roots however. It is after all home to the Bergeron Rodeo. Davie has come a long way since it was a piece of the Everglades. It is now home to over 103,000 residents over 35 square miles. It is the location of many colleges and technical centers including Nova Southeastern University, Florida Atlantic University, and Broward College. Points of interest in Davie is the botanical park Flamingo Gardens and the Young at Art Museum. it is said the best piece of Key Lime pie can be had at Bob Roth's New River Groves. When Davie was settled it's economy was based almost entirely on farm land and cattle. Now the agriculture and cows are disappearing. No matter how built up Davie gets you can still find the alligators of the Everglades in the town's many nature parks.

You will see a mix of locals and tourists enjoying shopping, art, and dining, especially in the evenings. It is a very walkable place. It's also good for people watching. I have good memories from our dining experience at Tiffany's when they were here in April 2024. We want to dine at Dior's rooftop soon. Our favorite eatery there so far is Michael's Genuine Food & Drink. In case you are interested, the flagship stores for major fashion houses are Balenciaga, Dior, Gucci, Celine, and Louis Vuitton for clothing and accessories, and jewelers are Cartier and Harry Winston. Rolex also has a store here but it is not their flagship. There are many more high-end stores there for you to visit. There is a parking garage near by as well as street parking and private lots if you can find them.

The Seminoles are a Native American tribe that originally lived in Georgia. On May 28, 1830, Andrew…read moreJackson signed the Indian Removal Act Forces, declaring that all Native Americans had to move west of the Mississippi onto reservations. The Maskókî, also known as Creek by white settlers resisted the move and traveled down to Florida to join with the descendants of other Native Americans who had lived in Florida for thousands of years. They thought of themselves as siminoli, meaning free people. White America called them Seminoles. Wars took place between the U.S. Government and the Seminoles as they tried to round up 5,000 Seminoles to oust them from Florida and send them on the Trail of Tears out to Oklahoma. The government set up forts throughout Florida and there are towns still there today like Fort Pierce, The government was successful in capturing and removing some Seminoles but ultimately a small band of 200 led by Seminole leader Sam Jones (Abiaka) were able to head into the Everglades and evade capture. The government finally gave up and the Seminoles were the only Native American tribe never to sign a peace treaty with the US government. In the 1950's a group of Seminoles met under the Council Oak Tree in Hollywood to discuss the tribes future. They were the children of the generation of Seminole's that were forced to hide in the Everglades in the mid 1880's. It is believed that the Council Oak Tree was standing in 1828 when the Seminoles first settled in the area and it was known as Big City Island. In 1957 a meeting between Florida Seminole Indians Bill Osceola, Billy Osceola, Betty Mae Jumper and Laura Mae Osceola met with Sioux Indian Reginald "Rex" Quinn, from the Tribal government branch of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He was sent to help them set up their own government. With his assistance they were able to set up their constitution and by laws which prevented the U.S. government from abolishing the tribe. The meeting under the Council Oak Tree set the tribe on their current path of government where there is a governing body called the Tribal Council, pursuant to the Constitution and bylaws, and a Board of Directors pursuant to a corporate charter. From a smoke shop in the 1970's, the tribe has grown their business portfolio to the Hard Rock empire with more than 500 million dollars a year in gambling profits from their casinos. Today you can visit the Seminole Big Cypress Reservation in Clewiston by taking Alligator Alley and exiting at Snake Road. At 82 square miles, it is the largest of the six Seminole reservations and approximately 700 Seminoles live here. Only an hour from Ft. Lauderdale by car, it feels a world away. Recreational activities at the reservation include the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Billie Swamp Safari, and the Junior Cypress Rodeo and Entertainment Complex. Campers can stay at the Big Cypress RV Resort. The reservation also has the 12th largest cattle operation in the country. When you come to the reservation you can learn about the Seminoles and the Everglades. In the past I have taken the swamp buggy tour at Billie Swamp Safari and more recently I attended the American Indian Arts Celebration at the fairgrounds adjacent to the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. I really enjoy vearing of Alligator Alley for a couple of hours and enjoying all the wildlife and history the reservation has to offer.
