When is Spring going to get here? Where is this global warming? Where is Florida? These are some of the questions that we were asked lately at our favorite Town (Old-Town)? Well tonight it was a little warmer and we hope the cold weather is gone.

Lee and Dave warmly welcomed us in on the brick streets at 5 O'clock. After lunch we headed out to see who had arrived. We came across two very nice couples, Earl and Mary Reckzin who are from Renfrew, Ontario and Earl's brother Dave and his wife Karen from North Bay, Ontario, they come every year to Florida on their vacation and Old-Town is one of their favorite places to come. They said, "they love it at Old-Town". We welcome all our visitors from Canada who come and enjoy our Town.
