A Land Remembered 2019 Tour Begins
We’re in Florida now getting ready to start presenting Patrick Smith’s Florida IS A Land Remembered. A few shows are for private audiences in the Naples and Punta Gorda area, but we have plenty of public shows you can catch. Eighteen, to be exact. Possibly more if I hear back from a couple of interested sponsors.
Starting West
Our first public show happens on the Atlantic coast of Florida. On Saturday, March 9, 2019, I’ll be presenting at the Palm Coast Community Center located at 305 Palm Coast Pkwy NE in Palm Coast, Florida. My sponsor, Palm Coast Historical Society, received such a good response that they moved me to the Community Center.
No reservations are required and the admission is FREE. They are serving light refreshments.

Traveling West
Next, we’re going to go west all the way to the Gulf Coast to Tampa where I’ll be presenting in the beautiful downtown Tampa Theatre on Monday, March 11 at 7 pm. I’m really excited about this big, beautiful venue! The sponsor, Henry Plant Museum, didn’t have a large enough space at their site for the number of people who wanted to come so they moved me to this wonderful place.
The doors open at 6 pm. The Theatre is located at 711 N Franklin St, Tampa, Florida.
Tickets are available now and cost $15 at the box office or $17 online. Advanced purchase is strongly encouraged. Click here to purchase tickets: tampatheatre.org/live/patrick-smiths-florida-is-a-land-remembered/

The Knox Family Foundation graciously underwrote the program
Down to Winter Haven
Then on Tuesday, March 12, I’ll be in Winter Haven. I’ve spoken at the Winter Haven Library before. It was a sold-out crowd and they anticipate that to be the case this time too so again, the library arranged for me to present at a much larger venue.
I’ll be at the Nora Mayo Hall at the Florida Citrus Library on 500 3rd Street SW in Winter Haven.
The event is FREE but you must register to get a seat. Registration opens on February 12.

Back East to Port St Lucie
It’s back to the east coast on Wednesday where I’m speaking for the Oxbow EcoCenter. I’ll be speaking at the Port St. Lucie Community Center. The address is 2195 SE Airoso Boulevard in Port St. Lucie.
The presentation is FREE but you must RSVP to oxbow@stlucieco.org or call (772) 785-5833.

Next week, I’ll be back with more information about where I’ll be the week of March 18 through March 23.
