Commuting in the last century...taking the Hiawatha Steamboat up the Ocklawaha River from Silver Springs to Palatka. Small wonder that muralist Terry Smith is one of our favorite artists. His mastery not only includes knowledge of the flora and fauna of this region, but also portrays the "flavor" of our history. The artist also likes to paint "surprises" in his artwork. When you have an opportunity to see the completed mural, be sure to search the grasses carefully...
The Mug Race is very special to us, and is a spectacular event. If you have never seen it, there is room for you along the riverfront this year. Be sure to bring your own seating and a picnic lunch.
