Webster Florida

Webster Florida is one of those little sleepy towns in the heart of Florida except on Monday’s. Every Monday the town comes alive with the awesome Webster Flea Market. The flea market draws thousands of people from all over the world and is open all year long. Summer hours for the Webster's Flea Market and Farmer's Market are from 6 am to 2 pm, while winter months see the market open from 5 pm to 3 pm.

For more than 50 years the Webster Flea Market has been in operation and one of those place to find everything imaginable.  One of the big draws for people is that this is a great place to find fresh produce from local farmers, fresh flowers and plants, antiques, electronics, and many other products.

 

Peak season for the Webster Flea market is in the cooler months of Florida usually from October to May.  The only problem this time of year is there are hundreds if not thousands of people walking the 50 acre flea market and the vender's are not for much for wheeling and dealing.

 

You can also bring your pets along to the Webster's Flea Market and Farmer's Market as long you as keep them on a leash and clean up after them. And if you run out of cash, just as you are about to strike a great bargain, simply head to the on site ATM, which is located just a few minutes away from all the action!

The other thing that takes place on this site is once a month on the 1^st Sunday of every month there is a Auto & Cycle swap meet that takes place. With more than 300 vendors bringing new and used parts and merchandise you should be able to find what you are searching for. This is the place to come to find that part you have been searching for. From parts for antique collectible to ready-made project car or even a brand new custom vehicle this is the place to find it. Admission is price for the swap meet is $4 per person and includes free use of hot showers and restroom facilities

 

 

To get to Webster is easy from any direction. It takes just over an hour to get to Webster from Orlando, Tampa or Gainesville. (See Map)

Suwannee River

The Suwannee River Is called by some the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. The river meanders some 235 miles from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico. Over 206 miles are on the Florida side of the borer.

The river and the people that enjoy the river are blessed to have as many as 55 crystal clear springs that feed the river and give the public many places to enjoy the crystal clear water.

 

The Suwannee River is one of only a few untouched natural river systems in the southeastern United States and it is federally designated as a wild river.

 

One thing that you need to be careful of when boating on the Suwannee River are the Jumping Sturgeon Fish. The sturgeon fish seem to migrate up the Suwannee river each year and they grow very large in size. So be extremely careful when the sturgeon are making their way up the river.

Homosassa Springs Florida

The day was warm but a little wet which made for a great day to take the grandson and head over to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. Homosassa River and Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park is in Citrus County where we live. This area is very unique and filled with nature of all kinds. The park does have an admission but it is really worth the cost to get in.
The park is great for all ages to come and enjoy. Like I said we took our grandson which was only about a year old at the time and he had an awesome time enjoying all the animals and wildlife that the park offers for your enjoyment.

 

 

These are just a few pictures of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. You must come out to see it for yourself just how amazing this place is.
