I had a lot of fun watching and taking photos at what Plantation takes pride in calling, “the Best. Event. Ever.” Other than the heat, it was a great event as always with something for everyone. From shopping, eating, drinking, to entertaining, it’s an event for the whole family. Not to mention it’s a stunning setting, as you can see from these photos.
