“All we are saying is give peace a chance” John Lennon 1969
SWFL has some of the best events ever. Who would think of
having a day to experience peace by having a festival? Zachari Van Dyne is the
brains and sweat behind this event. This year marked the 8th year
for this event and the response was huge.
We decided to go early to the event so as to beat the crowds
and the heat. We were wrong on both accounts. Finding a parking spot was easier
than my driver thought it would be judging from all the cars park along the
road before we even got to the park. The heat well I was hoping to hold up and
not melt.
Have you ever been to Jaycee Park in Cape Coral. It is right
on the river, has beautiful trees, places to grill, playground for the
children, walking paths for people and their fur babies. It is a perfect
setting for this event.
All along the walking path there were vendors of all kinds….my
first stop was to see my friend Lisa who was there for Natural Awakenings. We
chatted a bit and she told me she was ready to rip her clothes off and free
herself…lol…just an expression that had nothing to do with the heat. Apparently
our chat inspired her…lol… I do have an odd effect on people.
We met some new friends too! People who offered dancing
classes….Mark with Artful Gardens, he bubble soccer people….now that looked fun
and they asked me if I wanted to give it a try but I was way to small….and
speaking of way too….my friend Way Too Torrie was on hand. They had people
selling clothes, jewelry…doing readings….and so much more…..like music….entertainment
I was unable to get my photo taken with Zachari as every time
I saw him he was dashing about here and there making sure everything was at it
should be.
I really wished I could have spent more time there but it
was so hot I was beginning to melt. Ever see a cannoli melt? It isn’t
pretty!!! You can find more about Zachari
