We went to the festival Sat., unfortunately I must have erased the pictures I took there, maybe the turtle ate them. Since there is a lot of sugar cane grown in the area the Ortona fire dept. holds a festival each year. They demonstrate grinding the sugar cane, extracting the juice and boiling it. The juice mixed with orange juice was great, further boiling resulted in cane syrup. Along with the demo was a good bar b q lunch and some local young cloggers. Two disasters struck the event, the advertised blue grass band failed to show and the poor ladies manning the dessert booth were attacked by the bees drawn by the sugar cane grinding, ravenous bees became stuck in the cake frosting, forcing disposal of many delicious pieces.
We are on our way to W P Franklin, Corps of Engrs. recrecation area near Ft. Myers.
