Janet Groene is a professional travelwriter, author of more than 25 books and thousands of magazine and newspaper features. She blogs at six sites on travel, travel food, family travel, RV and camping, yachting and cruising.
MAY 17-19, BAR HARBOR, Maine The annual Abbe Museum Indian Market features more than 75 Native American artists, films, fashions, storytellers, and performers from 35 nations in the U.S. and Canada. Ramble booth to booth in springtime sunshine downtown on the Village Green. The Abbe is a Smithsonian Affiliate. Read this book on Native American foods and traditions.
FEBRUARY 19-21, DEVILS LAKE, North Dakota. Celebrate snowflakes and ice sparkle with ShiverFest. Bring the family for fun with kite flying, golf on ice, a motorcycle show, pond hockey, sleigh rides, hockey for little ones, youth ice fishing and contests for all ages. Warm hospitality and hot drinks make this worth a special trip.
FEBRUARY 2, HILTON HEAD ISLAND, South Carolina. Enjoy a full Gullah traditional breakfast at the Cherry Hill School during this month of celebrating the Gullah heritage in these barrier islands. On the menu are butter grits, biscuits, shrimp in lowcountry gravy, fried fish, stewed oysters and other local specialties. Gullah events go on all month, so come early and stay through February.
MAY 17-18, SEVIERVILLE, Tennessee. Enjoy mountain greenery and scenery while listening to top bluegrass stars and eating the best in barbecue. More than 40 chefs will be on hand to serve ‘cue at the annual Bluegrass and BBQ Festival while stars including fiddle player of the year Michael Cleveland and IBMA female vocalist of the year Dale Ann Bradley take the stages. While you’re here, camp out or stay in one of the quaint bed and breakfast inns. Don’t miss the shops filled with mountain arts and crafts.
FEBRUARY 9, AUSTIN, Texas. They claim it’s the largest Brazilian Carnaval
outside Brazil. Dress the part and dance the night away to live music.
There’s still time to learn the latest samba moves and get your body in
shape with this DVD
Be ready for ice storms, power outages and other emergencies with the Survival Food Handbook. It's a guide to food preparedness, from provisioning a boat for a cruise to facing the next power outage at home. Only affordable, everyday supermarket staples are needed. This isn't about high-priced survival rations.
Hide your location, protect your online privacy at home and away with a personal IP address. It's legal, honest, smart and downright necessary these days.
