Tis the Season -- Goings-on in Punta Gorda

Boy you can sure tell we are in season.  The restaurants despite a recession are crowded, the traffic is heavy for Punta Gorda, and there is a lot going on.  I have just started development of a website "YouBelonginPuntaGorda.com "  It's live, but a work in progress.  This morning, as I was  working  on an event calendar, I was amazed at just how many festivals, shows, and more are taking place this month right in Punta Gorda.   

Among the major highlights  this coming weekend are the Celtic Festival (Sunday, March 8) at the Punta Gorda Elks with Marcille Wallis and Brendan Nolan among other Celtic entertainers; Downtown Get Down with Greg Billings Band, Low Rent and Sudden Impact starting at 3PM Saturday, March 7 in front of the Old Court House; and the Kiwanis Kar and Family Fun Show at the Charlotte County Motorsports Park near the airport in Punta Gorda on Saturday, March 7 starting at 10 a.m.  Oh and for you ladies who are Twin Isles Country Club members, Monday is the Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon at the club.   

Coming later this month are the Annual Florida International Airshow on March 21-22, the Peace River Seafood Festival on the 14th and 15th, a Taste of Punta Gorda on March 28 and much more.  For more details on these events and more go to http://www.youbelonginpuntagorda.com/thingstodo.html.
