The administrators of Talk of The Villages would like to ask a big personal favor of our members.

As you know, this site is thriving because of all of the wonderful posts and input from our active members. Without your posts, there would be nothing to read or respond to.

Our little corporation, Community Forums LLC, has begun an expansion project. Our first new forum has gone online in another Florida community and we kindly request your help. The new forum is in Plant City, Florida and is called, PlantCityForum.com. Right now, very few people know about it, but they will soon be logging on to check it out and they will need something to respond to.

Here’s what we would like to ask. Please go to PlantCityForum.com and register as a member. Look through the forums and post some topic that will encourage others in that community to jump in and reply. We realize that most of you will not likely continue as active members there, but some might. In any case, your registration and posting of a comment or question will inspire locals to join in.
We would deeply appreciate any help that you would be willing to offer in this project. Thanks in advance to those who are willing to help us out.
Eventually, we hope to have a nationwide network of forums that will all tie back to the first one, Talk of The Villages.

For those who are not aware, Plant City is where your strawberries come from. It's a wonderful, home town type of community.

Thanks again,
Darrel, Tony and Jan

You may want to edit/modify your 1st link, you left out the "M" in forum.

Where is this? It seems vaguely familiar from the Tampa Bay area news broadcasts. I seem to remember a lot of railroad crossing accidents around Plant City?

Tal, I pass the Plant City exit on the 75S when I'm heading down to Bradenton or Sun City to see my family. I actually haven't visited that city yet but that's the general direction it is in. Hope this helps. Kath

Here's some information about Plant City for others like me who are unfamiliar with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_City,_Florida


It looks like their Strawberry Festival gets some big name country acts. http://www.flstrawberryfestival.com/

KathieI,

Stop off in Plant City next time you go by and seek out Parksdale Farm Market for a strawberry shortcake you will never forget!

Awwww, Dirigo, your making my mouth water, but I just posted on that forum that I'm allergic to strawberries, but they always look so pretty to me. I'll just eat the shortcake, how's that. Thanks for the link.

Anyone else having this problem? http://www.plantcityforum.com/forums...=newthread&f=2

Really do not have much to say about Plant City though as I have never been there.

I was wondering how Plant City got its name?

Named for Henry Plant, a railroad guy.

Really???? A railroad guy? Wow! I didn't know that! Interesting.

When do they blossom and for how long? I may get to Plant City sometime in May and would like to know if the season extends to May.

Still having trouble posting on PlantCityForum.com so I will ask this on here.
