4th of July at Silver Springs

Well, since I am in Ocala for the 4th I went out to Silver Springs to see what they had going on. The reason I am in Ocala for the 4th is because I have Jury Duty on the 6th. That is what happens when you are a Florida resident. I lived in Georgia for over 30 years and never got called for Jury Duty. Oh well, I will do my civic duty on Monday.

Silver Springs will light up Marion County with another spectacular celebration on July 4th . They have live music with a band named "Live Bait" beginning at 3:00 p.m. Live Bait will be performing Jimmy Buffet's greatest hits. Also, the 60's pop band "The Lovin Spoonful" will play. I remember the 60's but I don't remember this band. Then they have award winning country music staple Terri Clark (Terri Clark is probably the only person at this concert that doesn't remember the 60's).


You may notice I did not say how good they were....that is because I did not stay for the concert. IT WAS TOO HOT! I took a couple boat rides on the beautiful Silver River, bought me some Carmel popcorn and went back to my nice cool home at 3 Kings. They will have fireworks tonight, which I may go back to see. But I will show you some pictures I took while I was at Silver Springs today.

This is one of the famous Glass Bottom Boats they have at Silver Springs.


Beautiful River....people, not so much.


...speaking of not beautiful...Giraffes are not really that good looking...and they STINK. They know that they stink and even have a sign explaining why they stink.



Well, Happy 4th of July
