I never imagined it would last this long!
Over the last seven years, I’ve spent more than 16 months on the road presenting my multimedia show Patrick Smith’s Florida IS A Land Remembered about my father, Patrick D. Smith, and his beloved novels, especially the best known, A Land Remembered. Dad was a highly popular speaker but when he could no longer do it people started asking me. One thing led to another and here I am, 325 shows later!
The show has been seen in libraries, museums, theaters, colleges, and many schools, from Key West to the edges of Georgia and Alabama and everywhere in between.
Patrick Smith’s Florida IS A Land Remembered Farewell Tour
It has been a cherished experience for me but now I’m calling it quits.
I have some regrets and I’ll certainly miss the audiences, but there’s a trick to the ‘graceful exit.’ It begins with the ability to recognize when a life stage is over–and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out.
You can learn a lot more about the show here.
Only Two Shows Scheduled
There are just two remaining opportunities to see the show.
I’ll be presenting at the Osceola County Welcome Center in Kissimmee at 6:30 PM on September 23 2021.
Then the next evening, I’ll be at the Jesse Brock Community Center in Winter Garden at 6:30 on September 24 2021. That show is charging $10 admission for members, $20 for non-members.
I don’t know if there are seats available at either place but if you are interested, it’s worth a call. You can purchase tickets for the Winter Garden show here and find out more information about the Kissimmee show here. Both shows will be practicing CoVid safety precautions so there will be less available seats so there can be spacing of the attendees.
Interested in Ordering Patrick Smith’s Books?
You can always order all of Patrick Smith’s books at this website or PatrickSmithOnline.com. I also have TeachALandRemembered.com which is dedicated to schools. I keep active on my Facebook groups and pages as well. Those places are a good way to learn about new developments, such as possible movies! I’ll say no more about that at this time but here’s a post you might want to read.
Thanks for your support over these years and I hope to see some of you in later in September.
