Spring in Newberry FL

A spring Saturday. Beautiful ! Newberry was ablazing with activity. The annual plant sale this year was held at the Methodist Church, while the kids made earthy Spring/Easter baskets at Dudley Farm. Relay for Life was in Full swing, thanks to Andy Karalas had their second yard sale on the Karalas property. Since the city elections are Tuesday, this spring Saturday with perfect weather was the best opportunity for the candidates to spread all American spring cheer. Robert Fillyaw and Jordan Marlowe joined the activity with a cook out, giving away hot dogs and lemonade to all who stopped by.
