Sugar Festival 2015

I think this was our 6th year at the Clewiston Sugar Festival! 
Sugar cane - peel and eat, it tasted...like sugar!
Honestly, this was the least impressive year to me.  I knew it would be hot and long and crowded, but the midway was extremely unimpressive - just smidge above a big Miami-style birthday party.  So we didn't think it was worth the cost of arm bands.  Fortunately Clewiston has recently built a fantastic new playground.  They also have a free splash park - both within walking distance on the festival. 

The most interesting thing this year was the U.S. Sugar tent.  They went out of their way to make a good impression with free orange juice and iced tea, free sticks of sugar cane, free rock candy, a free raffle, and lots and lots of information about the sugar industry.

Taking the pack and play was the best idea ever - for both of us!
