Who's been to Polk City, FL ?

Seems like a nice place to hang around. They have an orange grove tour, boy scout campboree, art deco diner...

Kermit Weeks has a pretty nice collection of airplanes and the like there too.

Oh, sure if you're into that sort of thing. The planes are all kind of old and they fly most of them quite often. I bet they smell funny.
On the other hand it's tough to beat fresh squeezed orange juice.

My only suggestion is to make sure that you give yourself enough time to check things out at Fantasy of Flight. There are a lot of amazing things to see and you will find that closing time will sneak up on you.

I can't see it in my future currently. The Kermit hanger was one of the things I didn't get to in Oshkosh. Hopefully I can vicariously live through some people here that have been to the Fantasy of Flight because I like orange juice.

Mr Weeks hosted a dinner that I went to there a number of years ago for the World Aerobatic Championships. Pretty cool place but we have some cool places in Canada now too:) sadly no oranges but plenty of maple syrup!

Definitely worth the visit. It's a bit pricey, but then everything down there is, and of course it's a private venture. A tour of the workshops was also a must!
