On Independence Day Winter Garden has a different style parade to many towns, where children get to parade, walking or on scooters or being pushed in strollers – all patriotically dressed; an easy 10 minute walk for us from home downtown to watch and enjoy:
And here is some video:
Shannon Till has sponsored a second annual car stroll in nearby Oakland and, like last year, I headed over to admire the cars and take some photos …
I was particularly impressed with the Captain Marvel theme of this vehicle …
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!)
