[yukino78]

Okay, I just realized there's a thread for the SOUTH...I noticed nothing much is going on.  I do love to keep up with the Festivals all year round and I'll be happy to post information here.  I even volunteer sometimes! It's fun...I gotta meet lots of new peeps.

So bear with me as I update this first post with information of coming up events and places to visit.  It might not be all of it, but just some places that I've been to and stuff.
