Event Details
In 1998, the original Weird Florida posited that Florida was the wackiest state of all. That much weirdness called for a second volume in 2006: Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock. Now, more than two decades later, who can argue otherwise? This presentation by author and journalist, Eliot Kleinberg, includes a whirlwind tour of 500 years of Florida history, capped with a strong argument for Florida’s transplants to become Floridians. Don't miss this fabulous presentation presented by the New Port Richey Cultural Affairs Committee, the Hacienda Hotel, and the Library.
