The McIntosh Festival of the 1890s is fast-approaching...October 22 to be exact! This annual event was founded by Margie Karow, fondly known as "McIntosh" by most. Margie was the maternal grandmother of Crevasse's Regency Florist owners, Christen and Beau Crevasse! Margie grew up in the small town of McIntosh, Florida, in the lovely house that now serves as the charming Merrily Bed & Breakfast. As her former family home, it only seemed appropriate that she serve as the B&B's innkeeper. She was an active participant in McIntosh's historical society, town committees and the like. Seeing great value in the history of her beloved township, she initiated the Festival that would come to be an annual, highly-anticipated event. Over 35,000 people are attracted to the sleepy town for the one day occasion. We hope you'll join us at this year's Festival! It takes place Saturday, October 22 from 8 a.m.--5 p.m., rain or shine and features antiques, art, crafts, food and all day entertainment. McIntosh is located along US 441 midway between Gainesville and Ocala. Visit the official website at http://townofmcintosh.org/Civic2.html
