My selection which ranked 3,507 is still a delicious Southern Event. Gator Fest in Anhuac, Texas which offers alligator to eat, and other things, a wonderful gospel singing and much more.

To the person in Lowndesboro,Al. Just drive down the road to Selma and you well find many things to do. Riverfront Market day. Beautiful Butterfly display. All huge and handmade on display in the down center and a new riverboat ride down the Alabama river. I don't live in Selma but it is my hometown and I love it and everthing else in Alabama.

I so loved the Garden Gate Tea Room in Mt Dora Florida. My husband took me there on a rainy Monday, we arrived just in time, as they were closing for the day. we were seated on a wicker loveseat in the front porch. The food the atmospher and the service were so wonderful. Tonight on this cold March day in Minnesota I close my eyes and click my heels and say there is no place like Mt Dora...and I am still here in MN...so prehaps someone has a better way. Prehaps a contest...

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, New Orleans is the greatest time to visit New Orleans; weather is good, with flowers blooming; the streets are alive with music; life is good!

Okay. you must tell me about this. We bought a 140-year-old house in Lowndesboro, AL, 256 good down-home folk 'round here. I am looking for stuff, you know, that you just can't find unless you go digging for it. Let me know. Thanks.
