Everglades City Arts and Crafts Fair on March 26

For an interesting day out, venture down to historic Everglades City on Saturday, March 26, to see what's new at Art-in-the-Glades, an informal arts & crafts fair featuring the many talented local creators of items such as paintings, photos, soaps, quilts, and books.

This outdoor event starts at 10:00 AM under the pavilion behind the tennis courts in McLeod Park just off the Circle and continues until 1:00 PM. There is no charge to browse and doggies are welcome.

While you're in this quaint mini city, the first seat of Collier County, you can visit the Museum of the Everglades, the Visitor Center, and the restaurants featuring the local delicacy of stone crabs.

For info, phone Marya at 239-695-2905.

If you are coming down US-41 (Tamiami Trail) from Naples, drive about 25 miles from the intersection with CR-951 and turn right (south) at the light on CR-29. Continue four miles to Everglades City Circle.
