Flower fest 🌻

(Copyright 2023 by WKMG ClickOrlando - All rights reserved.)

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

You won’t be hearing from me for a while after today...

Like Thomas Mates, author of the Florida Foodie newsletter, I will also be on vacation! Unlike Thomas Mates, I will actually be out of town. If you’re not a subscriber of his, he mentioned he would be out of the office for the next two weeks and while he is “living it up around Central Florida” (yes, his words), I will be living it up somewhere else (thank God).

I’ll be traveling west for a wedding and then doing some hiking 👰.

Sorry to leave y’all hanging for a bit, but I’ll be back for the end of the month!

And there’s a reason for the “flower fest” title of this newsletter, just stick with me.

Here’s what’s happening!!! ⤵️

Let’s taco ‘bout it.

Who doesn’t love a good taco fest? Especially when it lines up with Cinco de Mayo.
