We spent the last day of our daughter's visit taking in the Speckled Perch Festival in Okeechobee. Once again it was a cool day, but it was nice and sunny.
Lyne tried out the bungee event. It was a riot!
Lyne tried out the fried pickles, and the boiled peanuts, while Chantale enjoyed a tasty corn dog.
Okeechobee: As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 5,784. The Speckled Perch Festival is held annually in honor of the most famous fish of Lake Okeechobee. This area was the site of the worst effects of the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, the first recorded Category 5 hurricane in the North Atlantic and still one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to strike the US.
