Cool things this weekend
It’s fall and it is time for the fair. A big one opens this weekend in Fort Myers on the grounds of Jet Blue Park. A fair of a different kind is taking place in Port Charlotte. It’s an eco fair. If you are a fan of Downtown Fort Myers Art Walk, it’s on for Friday. However, the hours are changing so take note.
The fair has all kind of thrilling rides and even some laid back ones for the kids. Who can resist a good Merry Go Round.
Finally, the Florida International Airshow returns after two years. But perhaps most important, don’t forget to change your clock this weekend. We fall back. If you are looking for some fun ideas of things to do with that extra hour on Sunday, here is a list that might just get you going.
