Over-crowded parking lots, addictive commercial jingles?...Yep, the holidays are fast-approaching!

What better way to spruce up your Thanksgiving tablescape than with a festive, colorful centerpiece! We have a unique array of fall blooms and offer the traditional taller vase arrangement or fruit cornucopia gift basket, to anything in between!

Gator Homecoming: What's Happening?

Gator homecoming is this weekend! Festivities abound and will begin with the 88th annual parade at noon on Friday, November 4. The theme is "There Is Nothing Like the Swamp." Attending the parade is a Crevasse family tradition. They'll be there this year as well, with sons Hunter and Colt.

The Gator Gallop is a 2 mile run/walk down University Avenue and is a precursor to the parade. The cash registration fee is $15 and the race begins at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, November 4.

At 7 p.m. that evening, join over 22,000 of your closest friends for Gator Growl, the largest student-run pep rally in the world! The show is held at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, AKA "The Swamp." Ken Block and Drew Copeland of the band Sister Hazel will host the show. This year's performers are the Goo Goo Dolls and stand-up comic Joel McHale. A fireworks display is also a part of the night's lineup!

Then, Saturday, November 5 is the main event: the Gators take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at 12:21 p.m.! The Crevasse's are avid football fans and the homecoming game is one they won't be missing! The Alumni BBQ will be held before the game at 10 a.m. in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Diners will enjoy food and refreshments from Cody's Original Roadhouse. BBQ activities include trivia contests, raffle drawings, mini-carnival games with prizes, appearances by the Dazzlers, cheerleaders and the one and only Albert & Alberta! Entrance to the event is gratis and meal tickets are $10. ALL are invited and welcome!
