Do you love desserts? Then come to Clermont’s Historic Village on Saturday, August 10th between 1:00 and 3:00 pm to take part in the first People’s Choice Dessert Challenge! Several merchants known for their sweets, like Ritter’s, Busters, Blender Boys, Donut Truck and Chick-Fil-A, will be on hand with free samples. After you have had a chance to taste all the desserts you can vote for your favorite one. The merchants will even have plenty of items available for purchase.
The samples will be available on the grounds of the Historic Village, 490 West Ave., on the shores of beautiful Lake Minneola. All the buildings in the Village will be open until 4:00 pm so you will have plenty of time to tour them, especially the Townsend House with its beautiful new shingle roof that was recently installed thanks to the City of Clermont. Admission to the Village will be free as usual, however, a donation of $3.00 per person is requested.
If you are interested in history in general or the history of Lake County in particular, contact the Clermont Historical Society by going to our website, ClermontVillage.org; by calling our manager, Roxanne Brown, at 352-432-3496 or by attending our membership meetings which are held on the second Monday of every month except in July and August at 7:00 pm in the Train Depot in the Historic Village. Our next meeting is September 9th.
