My niece was one of the baton twirlers, both fire and regular of the Santa Rosa/Escambia Twirlers. Also, my wonderful ex, David Norris, who had the privelige of being Jay's UPS delivery person for about 3 years encouraged our adult daughter and myself to attend before he knew our niece would be performing. He truly misses his old route, and "fell in love" with all the people in the commnunity and it was great to see him mingle with the people he got to know over the years and introduce us to many he served at the Festival. We had so much fun, and Dave told us about the history of the Festival and the Gabbert Farm, etc. We all truly enjoyed the museum, the food, the people and we will most definitely attend the next Festival. Afterwards, he took us to a Corn Maze and the family/children friendly activities there was just so much fun and I can't wait to go back! I raved about it at work the following Monday. I thank all the persons involved for everything they did for making this such a wonderful and endearing experience and gave us a much more appreciation for our local farmers. May God Bless you all!
