This weekend is your chance to support local farmers, Florida craftsmen, and cures for lung cancer. If you love sleek, fast cars, head toward Colonial TownPark on the edge of Lake Mary and Sanford for the American Lung Association’s 8th Annual Cars For The Cure. If grease and fast cars do not rev your engine or mind, head in the opposite direction toward Deltona for the Buckler Craft Fair. After the fair continue driving north and enjoy a sunset walk on New Smyrna Beach. If all of this sounds exhausting, hang around downtown Sanford for some barhopping, wine sipping, or shopping.
