SUMMARY:THE SWAMP PEDDLERS
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Michael’s On East for our fourth annual Nature Lecture! This event brings a noted mission-relevant speaker to Sarasota. Past speakers include noted Florida photographer\, Clyde Butcher; author\, Andrea Wulf; and world-renowned entomologist\, Dr. Jack Longino. \nThis year’s speaker is award-winning author and historian\, Jason Vuic. \nTHE SWAMP PEDDLERS \nHow Lot Sellers\, Land Scammers\, and Retirees Built Modern Florida and Transformed the American Dream \nOriginally from Punta Gorda\, FL\, Jason Vuic is a graduate of Wake Forest University\, and holds an M.A. in history from the University of Richmond and a Ph.D. in history from Indiana University Bloomington. His first book\, The Yugo: the Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History\, received rave reviews in over 100 print and web-based publications\, and in 2016\, his book The Yucks! Two Years in Tampa with the Losingest Team in NFL History\, garnered wide acclaim from several dozen media outlets and publications. \nIn 2021\, Vuic published The Swamp Peddlers\, a tale of misguided land development in Florida during the grow-at-any-cost 1950s and ’60s\, which won the Phillip and Dana Zimmerman Gold Medal Prize for Florida Nonfiction at the 2021 Florida Book Awards\, as well as the 2021 Charlton Tebeau Award for outstanding general interest book from the Florida Historical Society. \nIn this lecture by the same name\, Vuic dives into the history of the “installment land sales industry\,” which seemingly appeared out of nowhere to sell billions of dollars of Florida residential property\, sight unseen\, to retiring northerners. For only $10 down and $10 a month\, working-class pensioners could buy a piece of the Florida dream: a graded homesite waiting for them in a planned community when they were ready to build. The result was Cape Coral\, Port St. Lucie\, Deltona\, Port Charlotte\, Palm Coast\, and Spring Hill\, among many others–sprawling exurban communities with no downtowns and little industry but millions of residential lots. These communities allowed generations of northerners to move to Florida cheaply\, but at a price. \nWe hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a captivating program. \n>>> RSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival
DESCRIPTION:After a hugely successful post-pandemic return to Clearwater Beach in Spring 2022\, the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival returns to bright and beautiful Clearwater Beach April 7 to 23\, 2023! From architectural masterpieces created from Clearwater’s famous sugar sand to concerts\, performers and daily entertainment\, the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival Presented by Visit St. Pete Clearwater is an annual event attracting visitors from around the world. The festival returns to Clearwater Beach for its ninth and biggest year yet with the theme “Decades: A Blast from the Past!” \nDue to the overwhelming success of previous Sugar Sand Festival events and the Easter holiday\, this year’s festival will again stretch for 17 days which allows people more time to attend\, to space out attendees and gives those visiting for Easter a chance to see this incredible and affordable festival. \nGeneral admission to the sculpture exhibit will be $14 per person and free for children 3 years old and younger. Discounted tickets for military personnel\, police officers\, firefighters\, teachers and healthcare workers can be purchased for $10 each on “Frontline Fridays\,” which are April 7\, 14 and 21. These discounted tickets will be available at the gate only with proper identification. All other tickets can be purchased online at SugarSandFestival.com beginning in December 2022. \nEach year\, the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival continues to grow in popularity and garner national attention. The 2022 event drew more than 200\,000 visitors throughout its 17-day run. On Aug. 30\, the festival received a 2022 Flagler Silver Award by Visit Florida in the category of Sustainable Tourism Marketing\, in addition to numerous other awards. The festival continues to attract visitors from around the world. \nAbout the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival\nFourteen world-class artists craft elaborate sand sculptures from Clearwater’s internationally famous sugar sand. The works of art are on display in a 21\,000-square-foot structure. More than 1\,000 tons of Clearwater sand takes on a new life\, bringing visitors on a “sandtastic” adventure. The festival is a joint effort between Sunsets at Pier 60 Daily Festival\, a 501(c)3 organization and the city of Clearwater.

SUMMARY:Florida's Carnivorous Plants
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Florida’s amazing carnivorous plants! \n\n\nLearn about Florida’s endemic carnivorous plants! Florida has dozens of native species of carnivorous plants––more than any other state in the United States—including sundews\, butterworts\, bladderworts\, and pitcher plants. These plants use appealing scents\, leaves\, and sticky fluids to trap and imprison insects. Digestive fluids then absorb the prey giving the plant its nutrients. Learn the evolution\, people\, and natural history of this area to discover why Florida is a hotspot of carnivorous plants. \n  \nPresented by Kenny Coogan\, author of the new book “Florida’s Carnivorous Plants”. \nKenny’s book “Florida’s Carnivorous Plants” and a selection of carnivorous plants will be available for purchase after the talk! \n>>> REGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The Lighter Side of Photographing Manatee County's Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of photography with a dose of humor. Courtland White\, a “Snow-Bird” and amateur nature photographer from the mountains of North Carolina has been striving to get that “Perfect Shot” for many years.  Photographing Florida birds is both easy and surprisingly difficult.  Easy\, because many Florida birds are large\, colorful\, and often approachable.  Difficult\, because the competition among the many skilled\, well-equipped – and more patient – photographers here is at such a high level.  Although that unique\, prize-worthy image remains elusive\, Courtland has captured along the way a collection of bird photographs that gave him a “smile.” Enjoy a presentation of Courtland’s photography and the stories that made the photos. \nProgram suitable for adults. Reservations are required. \nTo register please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/244011443797. For more information please contact aedan.stockdale@mymanatee.org. \nRobinson Preserve – Mosaic NEST
