It’s about to get H-O-T!

Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Central Florida is gonna be in record-breaking territory this weekend when temps get into the 90s.

I’ve definitely been soaking in the warmer weather lately and going to the pool any chance I can get 🏊!

If you’re looking for something more than just hitting your pool this weekend, here’s what’s happening ⤵️

The band headlining the festival, Piper Jones Band, is described as “a lyrical, high energy trio based on the moving and beautiful sounds of the Highland bagpipes, accompanied by unique percussive chords from the bouzouki and inspired drums.”
