E-Mail to the EditorDear Editor, Hi. My husband and I are new craft exhibitors and we are interested in information on setting up at upcoming craft show events, such as Field Day or other craft events. Any information you could provide on how to apply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and kindest regards, Lisa Guia Dear Ms. Guia, The information you will need in regards to setting up at the upcoming events will have to be answered by Ellen Smith. You can contact her at 863-763-4128 ext. 132. I do know that the Brighton Field Day & Rodeo will be Feb. 18–20, 2005. Ellen will be able to give you more information on the booths. Thank you, Jo Jumper Chairman’s Assistant, Brighton Dear Editor, Can you please give me information on the shootout in Kissimmee? Thank you for your assistance, Kim Minor Trails End Concessions Dear Ms. Minor, This event is not in Kissimmee, Fla., it's in Big Cypress at the Seminole Indian Reservation south of Clewiston, FL. The event is named Kissimmee Slough Shootout & Rendezvous. Sincerely, Buster Baxley General Manager Okalee Village Dear Editor, I read on the national Meals on Wheels website that you provide their service. Can you tell me what you can do for someone elderly in need of assistance that lives in Hollywood, Fla. Thank you for your help, Stern Dear Stern, We provide the same kind of services but it is not their services. It is provided by the Seminole Tribe of Florida for their elders. You have to be a member of the tribe. Sincerely, Leah Minnick Director Department of Elder Affairs Dear Editor, We are interested in visiting the sacred mound known as Mount Royal. We believe it is near Welaka, Fla. in Southern Putnam County. Would you be able to direct us? Sincerely, Claire Luscombe Greetings Ms. Luscombe, To the best of my knowledge Mount Royal is on private property and that access is under the control of the land owner. Best wishes, David Blackard Museum Director Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Dear Editor, My daughters’ school is studying early Florida history for the first semester of school this year. I was wondering if your reservation offers any tours or educational programs for children? Thank you, Courtney Gonzalez Tampa, FL Dear Ms. Gonzalez, The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is a wonderful place to learn about the culture and heritage of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki means “things remembered, things learned” in the native Miccosukee language. The museum is of five-star Smithsonian quality and features a film about the history of the Seminoles, rare artifacts, displays, a nature boardwalk and even a living village. Just down the road is Billie Swamp Safari, the Seminole’s eco-heritage wildlife park. At Billie Swamp Safari you can glide through the river of grass or idle through a cypress dome on the airboat ride. Take a swamp buggy eco-tour out into the land where the Seminoles lived and visit a reconstructed authentic Seminole camp. Learn the history of the Seminoles, the medicine plants and the flora and fauna of the environment and even about the native and exotic wildlife that roams the area. Many schools bring their classes out to the museum and safari while studying Florida history. The Safari has even adjusted its buggy tour to share information that coincides with the curriculum of Florida history taught to fourth graders in Florida schools. We hope you will come to visit the museum and safari. Sincerely, Tina Osceola Executive Director Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Dear Editor, I plan to visit Billie Swamp Safari on Monday, Jan. 3 with my four-year-old son. I have some questions. Do you have accommodations at a chickee lodge on that night? Is the cost $35 for each of us or $35 total? What time is your Swamp Buggy Night tour on January 3. Thanks very much, Chris Dear Chris, We have accommodations for a chickee for that night. As for night activities they have to be reserved two weeks prior to arrival. For any more questions please call us at (800) 949 6101. Thank you and happy holidays! Sincerely, Jacob Starling Sales Coordinator Billie Swamp Safari |
