Another weekend and we're watching yet another tropical system. I don't know about you, but the pattern is played out for me. The good news is that the storm should not dampen our weather just yet. Here are your Weekend Vibes, 7 outdoor weekend events in Southwest Florida to keep you entertained.
Wow is there a great variety of entertainment to choose from. The biggest boat show on Florida's Gulf Coast is taking place in downtown Fort Myers through Sunday. Or if you are into wheels over rudders, there is a big classic car show in Naples.
Maybe you prefer things that spin and twirl. Well the Fair at Fenway South is back. There are racing pigs, midway games and all of that healthful fair food.
Speaking of health, if exercising for a cause is on your radar, there is an Alzheimer's Walk too. In addition, don't forget to register for the Jingle Jog 5K and 1 Mile Santa Strut taking place in a couple of weeks. Details for that event are here.
