You may be thinking, “Why am I getting a Florida Foodie newsletter on a Thursday?”
Well, you’re not. Unfortunately, Thomas Mates only works every other Wednesday to deliver that to you (jokingggg he works hard on the other Wednesdays, too).

Hi friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida happenings.
If you’re not drooling over the image at the top of this newsletter, are you OK 🤤? I took this picture at the 407 Food Fair I shared with you all last week and boy, was it amazing! So many local food trucks were out there and there were even performances, including drummers who hyped up the crowds🥁.
It was so fun to see so many people out supporting small businesses and even meeting some of the business owners working hard. We live in such a great community 💛.
I left you guys with a promise last week of a big event coming to Central Florida, and I always deliver. Here’s what is going on this weekend ⤵️.
Jumping back into action is the largest frog leg festival 🐸.
The 32nd annual Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival is back starting today, serving thousands of pounds of frog legs and gator through the weekend 🐊.
While the food is the main event, there will be carnival rides available for purchase 🎡. There will also be live music over the weekend.
Um, sounds like a no-brainer good time to me.

Beer and science, what a combo, right?! 🍺🧪
