If you don’t live in Florida, we here at Holmes Stamp & Sign are here to tell you that all those rumors of blistering hot summers, and snow free winters are true. Last winter we did come close to snow, in fact it snowed at the Florida/Georgia border – but while the rest of the country was getting pounded with foot after foot of powdery white snow, we never saw a single snowflake. So in that precious time between the sweltering summers and frigid snow-less winters, when the temperatures get down lower and we no longer feel as though we are choking on humidity, we throw our doors and windows open and watch as our towns and cities come alive with fun Fall festivities and festivals.
Being a family based company, we like to encourage all of our friends, family, and loyal followers to venture outdoors now that the weather is finally beginning to cool. Throughout our daily lives, we spend so much time indoors that we don’t even notice it anymore. Kids spend roughly six hours a day in school, while adults and parents spend about eight hours a day at work. By the time everyone gets home, staying inside and cleaning, making dinner, or watching some Netflix is about all anyone ever wants to do. What so many families miss out on, are all the outdoor Fall activities that promote real genuine bonding between family members – not to mention all of the tremendous benefits to breathing in fresh air! More energy, vitamins from the sun and not from a pill, an invigorated mental state, a better and more restful sleep, not to mention quality time with your friends and family. What’s not to like?
Even though the Fall season has really only just begun, there is already no shortage of fun family filled events and activities to get you and your family into the Fall spirit. If you happen to live in the North Florida area like us, then we have something in common! Already we have various Fall festivities popping up all over town. Where you ask? Pumpkinpatchesandmore.org is a great resource for you to use whether you’re in Florida or elsewhere! Locate tons of Fall fun just outside your front door!
If you’re in the Jacksonville area and don’t mind a slight drive, Conner’s-A-Maize-Ing Acres isn’t that far away and offers not just a pumpkin patch, but a corn maze, and a hay ride too! A great place to relax and enjoy the fresh air, there are even animals that the kids can see! If you’re looking for something a bit more local, there are numerous pumpkin patches set up all over the city. Support your local businesses and organizations and check them out this weekend!
We can’t tell you, how much we love our fair city. Our company of Holmes Stamp & Sign has been based out of Jacksonville, Florida from its inception. What started in one man’s humble garage, now occupies two buildings not five minutes from the historic San Marco area that all locals familiarize themselves with at some point. It is thanks to our awesome and loyal fan base of customers that we credit our success and we plan to be around for many more years to come!
