\"\"It\u2019s not too early to get the word out about what is planned for the 2014 Lehigh Acres Spring Festival, so folks can mark their calendars.\u00a0 The annual event will be held once again at the Lehigh Acres Veteran\u2019s Park with festivities beginning on Friday, March 14, 2014 and concluding on Saturday, March 22, 2014.\u00a0 The theme will be Southern Fried Festival \u2013 Still Festive at Forty!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for the familiar Lehigh Idol which focuses on solo singers; but because of local interest to include something for the non-solo singers, new in 2014 is \u201cLehigh Acres\u2019 Got Talent.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 This new talent category will afford a broader opportunity for folks to participate.\u00a0 If you play harmonica, dance a jig, or twirl baton (just to name a few ideas), this new category would be for you.\u00a0 Watch for the details and the application forms which will be posted on the Spring Festival website.<\/p>\n

Also new for 2014 will be a \u201cShow Car\u201d show for cars, motorcycles, and trucks.\u00a0 This is planned for Saturday, March 22 and promises to be a real crowd pleaser.\u00a0 Registration forms and fees will be provided on the website.<\/p>\n

And for the local crafters, we are going to have a one-day craft show, also on Saturday, March 22, where those of you who make handcrafted items will be able to sell your wares.\u00a0 This is for homemade, hand-make craft items.\u00a0 Again, watch for the registration form, fees, and entry rules which will be posted on the website.<\/p>\n

And we are bringing back the best beard competition; the longest, the fullest, and the best overall.\u00a0 So fellas, you have been given notice so you should have plenty of time to grow the beset beard in town.<\/p>\n

Also look forward to the returning stage shows, the carnival rides, the pageants, the horseshoe tournament, and the Grande Parade.\u00a0 The 2014 Lehigh Acres Spring Festival promises to be the best yet!<\/p>\n

There will be more information available as we draw closer to our big 40th birthday party.\u00a0 Watch for the articles in the local newspapers and keep yourself informed by checking out our website: www.lehighspringfestival.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
