Then as I was parking behind TooJay's I saw a lot of people leaving and more walking to their cars or carts saying they were headed up to Spanish Springs. The stores at LSL were all closed and had signs in their windows that they closed becasue of power outage. Several managers and/or clerks where out on the sidewalk talking on cell phones I think trying to go ahead and just leave. Most of the Oktoberfest vendors were still operational because they had generators. The food vendors were very busy since most area restaurants had closed or were only serving drinks no food. After about 30 minutes the power came back on and many stores had reopened by the time I left at 7. It was a wonderful evening to be outside. I had great fun at both Spanish Springs and LSL.

Mike and I sat outdoors on our lanai and it was indeed a beautiful time of the day. Generally we can hear the music from the town square (Lake Sumter Landing) but with the power out, no music. I felt badly for anyone in town for the fest! Glad to hear that things got back up and running fairly soon.
Thanks for the info, Suzanne
