Heritage Weather

The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation has regular history displays at their museum location downtown, and last night had a talk by Tom Sorrells (one time local meterologist) entertainingly introducing the weather topic, and with information about the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, etc in our area … of course I took some photos!

After the talk we adjourned next door to the museum to take a look at their weather displays, up for this month … it was a shock to see information about the 1998 tornado that hit right in Winter Garden (I’d not heard of it before!)

Winter Garden Music Festival 2025

Winter Garden had a big music festival today with 5 or 6 stages set up for performances ranging from bluegrass through blues, pop, evening including opera (which we skipped!) … it was VERY well attended to the point of being impossible to move during the evening Spazmatics performance (a highlight for us)! Here’s a few photos from the day:
