Circle the date and circle the fun-things-to-do wagons around downtown Gainesville `cause with all the activities on the calendar next weekend Gainesville's the place to be!
Sports fans, it's time again for the Orange and Blue Game at the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin stadium --this intrasquad Gator vs. Gator scrimmage next Saturday gives spectators a sneak peek at next Fall's Gator gridiron line-up and hopefully a happy hint of the 2010 season.
Just five minutes east on University Avenue, a different line-up is assembled as more than 250 artists from around the nation will display their works all along NE 1st Street in historic downtown Gainesville for the 41st (wow!) Santa Fe Springs Arts Festival.
The official festival poster created by the ever-talented local artist, Angela Hoppe, was just unveiled this week...and it's fantastic. A fitting foretaste of other masterpieces to be discovered at this year's festival, Saturday and Sunday (April 10 & 11).
