Every winter we attend the annual Cane Grinding Festival in Ortona. This year we attended with Homer and Freda.
Sugar cane is ground with an old fashion mechanical grinder. The green juice that results is boiled down, much like maple syrup. This creates a very tasty cane syrup. It tastes something like molasses.
They hold this festival in early February. They have young cloggers performing, as well as a local bluegrass band. They serve up a barbecued chicken and pork lunch.
This year they had a medivac demonstration with the Tampa General Helicopter.
Here are several pictures from this event.
