Default Heritage Festival at Spanish Springs tonight!
Starts in 10 minutes, runs til 8. It was at Sumter last night. Vendors, music, music, vendors. Heading there now for some strawberry shortbread made by a Scot (that's the name of the company: Made by a Scot). He has a great accent too!

Really? It was at Sumter last night ????? How did we miss it? We were at the LSL square from 4-5:30PM last night (and just about every night) and all there was was What's His NameThe DJ guy and nothing else. Unless it all appeared after 5:30....or I am losing it faster than I thought! Def no food trucks or tents and all the parking was available!

I might've gotten the Sumter dates wrong. I thought it was last night. Maybe it was last week? It's on the schedule, and it's some time in the recent past, in any case!

Ah yes, I remember it well;

It is wrong to mock any ethnic heritage.

I think "woke" just like "entitled" is being way overused around here. The more "generic" and "heritage inclusive" they make it the more people will come to enjoy it. I don't like Bratwurst, beer or watching old men prancing in lederhosen so I had no desire to attend but I do like many of the other good food selections from multiple heritages so I go for the variety. It is also easier and less costly and much less preparation for "the powers that be" to create 1 event rather than 3 (not even considering having to repeat it at multiple locations),

The more celebrations, the merrier! Why not celebrate each other. People come
from all over and live in the Villages. It’s beautiful to go celebrate and learn about a heritage that may not be yours. Usually these celebration are a one night event. If it’s something you don’t really care for no one is forcing you to go.
