F Cubed (Florida Folk Festival)

What weekend is complete without music, dance, food, and tattoos? Not mine!

My friend Ruth and I journeyed to the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs over Memorial Day weekend for all those delights. Below is some documentation to support my claims.


This colorful sign greeted us upon entry to the festival.


Ben Prestage knocked my socks off. He was playing a box guitar made out of broom handles held together "with a radiator hose clamp," he informed the crowd. His sound is bluesy and raucous, fun and affable. Sadly, his CDs were sold out by the time I "discovered" him at the festival. Learn more at www.benprestage.net


No folk festival worth its salt would skimp out on dancing. Here, novices and experts do a little Cajun two-step.


Various churches around the area of White Springs collared up the greens, fried chicken, squash, sweet tea, fried okra, cornbread, pecan pie, bbq ribs and other goodies to fill our tummies. Can you say Southern comfort food?


Ahh. The henna tattoo. Perfect for those with commitment issues. Goes on painlessly, disappears in less than 2 weeks.
