Patrick Smith Day, November, 2006

Every November, Florida Eco-Safaris At Forever Florida holds an annual "Patrick Smith Day" celebration.

Florida Eco-Safaris is located at Forever Florida and the Crescent J Ranch, 4,700 acres of pristine Florida wilderness and a working cattle ranch. It's 100% real (not plastic) and there's a lot to see and do for all ages.
