Are you coming to MITS? Are you bringing your family? Why not make a weekend of it?
Silver Springs theme park is right around the corner! It features river cruises, wildlife exhibits, botanical gardens, rides, and more! Go to their website (www.silversprings.com) for more info.
Real Horse Events happening nearby:
Sun Apr 13, Polo in The Villages. Matches at 1 and 3:00, $6.00. Rather easy off, easy on for folks going south on I-75, but it would take about 1/2 hr to get there from the I-75 exit. Website: www.TheVillagesPoloClub.com
Sat and Sun Apr 12-13, Florida Horse Park, Ocala Jumping Classic II. Only a few miles from I-75, handy for southbound folks. Website: www.flhorsepark.com click on "I'm a competitor" then the calendar.
It is possible to take in both these events. Jumping in the morning and then polo. If anyone is seriously interested, I can supply directions to either or both.
