March has arrived in Southwest Florida and so has the height of our tourist season. I took a drive to Fort Myers Beach this week and it was bustling. Parts are still deserted and rebuilding from Hurricane Ian. But it was sure nice to see signs of life again. Food trucks, shipping containers and tents now house many of the businesses that were wiped out by the storm but are committed to staying. Besides heading to the beach there is much to see and do in SWFL this weekend.
Some of those things include Major League Baseball’s Spring Training games. The action is in full swing and baseball stadiums in Fort Myers have been packed with fans. Click here for the Twins schedule. For the Boston Red Sox schedule click here.

Carnival rides are one of the highlights of the newly renamed Ag Fest in Fort Myers this weekend.
