I am a little calendar obsessed. And I live in Florida. Yet, I had never heard of Pascua Florida Day before this year. A spring time holiday, Pascua Florida means, roughly, feast of the flowers. It is a State of Florida celebration by statute, and as a state day it ” commemorates the sighting of Florida by Spanish explorer Ponce de Le\u00f3n (LINK<\/a>).” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, it doesn’t seem like we do much with the day, which I think is a shame. I’m a little late in brainstorming this year. Thinking cap is on for 2020. What do you think would be the best way to celebrate Pascua Florida?
