I've never walked through a corn field before so picking my own corn was an adventure. Grilled corn hot off the grill was unlimited. There was live music, happy hour drink specials, food trucks, activities for kids and a petting zoo. My favorite part was picking sunflowers and taking pictures at all the cute photo spots around the farm. I didn't get a chance to pick blueberries, but I'll definitely be back the next time they are in season. I did get a fresh blueberry doughnut and it was delicious! Parking was easy, the workers were all so friendly, and the whole place had a fun, welcoming vibe.

The antiques were old and super random, the food trucks had a really nice selection, and it was a great way to spend a cloudy Sunday. There's a pickle shop here my dad and husband waited 45 minutes in line for. My dad claims this place in here has the best pickles he's ever had in his life. The pickle shop owner took his time with each customer to see what they needed and made sure they got all they wanted. This place was surprisingly cool and I would happily come back here the next time we are in Florida. We only made our way through half of it before we decided to leave. Next time we will visit the pickle shop last.

We had seats under the cover, but I would consider sitting on the grass with chairs because there was no bad view of the stage. The sound was fantastic. It was very easy to get to this location and to find parking and walk up. There are a lot of vendors for drinks and food and merchandise. We very much enjoyed the show. My first time seeing Marcus King and I absolutely would go back to this location. He is a phenomenal singer. Had great service at any of the bars that we went to. The only thing I would recommend is maybe if they can install some fans in the ceiling just to move the air around. The Saint Augustine amphitheater has large industrial fans to help circulate some of the air. Just a small suggestion.

Eustis began taking shape in the 1870s, when post‑Civil War settlers moved into the Florida frontier and homesteaded along the eastern shore of Lake Eustis. The community first went by names like Highlands and Pendryville before adopting the name Eustis in honor of Colonel Abraham Eustis, who had served in the region during the Seminole Wars. Early life revolved around steamboat travel on the interconnected Harris Chain lakes, but the arrival of the St. Johns and Lake Eustis Railway in 1880 pushed the settlement toward true cityhood with stores, churches, hotels, and a growing citrus industry. Today, the city is known for winter tourism and I get that. It was nice and warm but a foggy morning in early December, making it easy to explore. There are a variety of restaurants in town, including classic Florida on the lake like Crazy Gator or more ethnic options like Taste of Lebanon. A few coffee shops (One Thirteen was great for setting up my laptop) and several retail shops. It's just far enough from the Orlando and Daytona metros to be independent and close enough that you could hop to MCO or DAB for a flight. I like it.

Tickets are required, but you get plenty in return, live music, food trucks, and a selection of art to browse and buy. I enjoyed some drinks, tasty bites from the trucks, and even picked up a few goodies to take home. It's a great way to spend an afternoon, especially if you're looking for something new to do. Very kid-friendly, too. One thing to note: parking in Mount Dora on a weekend with an event can be a challenge. Plan ahead or arrive early, we ended up parking pretty far from the event, which was the only downside of the day. Still, we had a good time and got to explore more of Mount Dora in the process.

Not to mention being behind a flea market has its perks when there's some downtime. I like antique shopping. This is a great event for families (bring chairs if possible). There's educational performances and demonstrations, craft and food vendors (get an Indian Taco), and of course dancing. Saturday usually has the most people. My mother and I were there for the weekend and had a great time dancing, visiting with friends, and winning some "luck of the draw" money. This is done in place of dance competition so everyone gets a chance to win something. If there's ever a problem at the gate the best thing to do is to speak to a someone at the committee booth. They can help if there's miscommunication. The dancers are a major part of the powwow and are welcome into the circle for Grand Entry with the proper attire. Their powwow, their rules.

It was raining, but we got in line then we were told it was men first then women second and as I approached the circle to dance I was told my attire did not qualify. I had bought the one nation shirt I was wearing at the last powwow from a vendor named Randall and had a long rawhide skirt with owl leggings, and high top boots. I was wearing feathers in my hair. I have attended powwows for many years and never been told that I cannot stay and dance. This was disrespectful to me. There were very few people there at that point because of the continuing downpour. We immediately left. Powwows are about honor and a special opportunity to teach about Native ways. There was no announcement or written rules posted regarding who would be allowed to dance at the end of the night. I would not recommend this to families due to my experience.
