Englewood History with Zest

The week of February 5 - 12 was the Lemon Bay Fest week designated Englewood History with Zest, designed to provide information about the history and events that make up the community. Some of the programs and events presented were:

Daily cruises on Lemon Bay from 2 -3:30 every day.
A Youth Photo Contest.
Talks. demonstrations and films at the Elsie Quirk and the Englewood Charlotte Libraries

The week culminated with the Cracker Fair at the Pioneer Park on Dearborn Street presented by the Lemon Bay Historical Society.

Clear skies made for a great day at the fair. Music was provided by the EZ Street Band from 1 -4 and there were a lot of vendors, food and games for the whole family.


	There were many unique displays such as the hand painted signs and the blue and white herons. The woodpeckers on the right were a very clever design.
Firemen from the Englewood Fire Dept. brought a fire truck for display and gave a potential future fire fighter a lesson on portable fire extinguishers ( far right).
		The Historical Society gives out information. An article on the Cookie House will follow at a later date.
A shopper, with her adorable dog, takes a rest on one of the decorative benches on Dearborn St. Far right, a face painting booth.
	A couple of "youngsters" try their hand at a miniature Nascar track. This was definitely a family event for all ages.
