Here's to all my creative friends!
I'm looking forward to the long anticipated ART CENTER...wherever and whenever it materializes. If there is a will...there is a way and we have so many wills working together, it's only a matter of time before things come together and the county catches up with us! So many ideas, so little time. Weeki Wachee needs a major overhaul and what better people to rise up to the challenge than a bunch of hippie granola types with paintbrush in hand. Or is that Margarita? No, paintbrush. Well, we do have two hands for a reason;) One to get the job done and the other to reap the rewards of that hard work. So here's to change in Hernando County...a little bit at a time. I'm predicting that by this time next year, we will have started the transformation of one of the little used buildings on the premises of Weeki Wachee State Park into a hub for the ARTS. A Mermaid Museum will follow with memorabilia from yesteryear and shelves stocked with Mermaids on the Moon and Swim to Me and walls plastered with Julie Komenda batik merpeople. Then we will rid the gift shop of all MADE IN CHINA chachkas and restock it with the art and crafts of local artisans...Not only MADE IN THE USA, but in good 'ole Hernando County. Perhaps bringing back the flora and fauna and restoring the Springs to the lush tropical wonderland so many remember from their youth...is the key to the ultimate success for all. An environmentally aware State Park that balances the care of the delicate ecosystem with the demands of an ever growing community with selfish needs and the desire to be entertained.
No small task. It can be done.
