A quick update on food and drinks: While our originally scheduled food truck had to cancel, we’ve got a fun surprise instead, The Daily Paleta will be stopping by tonight for anyone wanting a sweet, refreshing treat.
We’ll also still have Lazor Gator on site serving beer and wine, and our amazing volunteers will be offering hot cocoa, coffee, and brownies for $1 each to help keep everyone warm and happy.
You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks or picnic items if you’d like to enjoy them during the event.
All proceeds from this fundraiser directly benefit Myakka River State Park and the Wild and Scenic Myakka River.
Friends of Myakka River exists to support Myakka River State Park and the Wild and Scenic Myakka River.
Together, we’re protecting and sharing Myakka’s magic — for future generations and our own.
