    VB has the Neptune Festival...which lasts All summer. This year, it starts in May with a Wine tasting....and goes through September with a Beach blowout.
    There are different events all through the season Arts and Crafts, Free Concerts, Seafood, golf, tennis....competitions. They really make the summer fun. Always something to do.
    We also have a Strawberry Festival....Frest strawberries prepared in all kinds of ways. There's a parade, crafts, Lots of people.

    The Ruskin Tomato Fest sounds like alot of fun. They're alot more versatile than strawberries.
