Hey guys ! So I’m planning a fundraiser , I will go into detail later , however I have a lot of friends who are either in a band , friends with a band , or DJ , etc . I also know that I have a lot of friends on here that are involved with that kind of group -I’m looking to do a fundraiser in mid to late feb. in the Spring Hill Fl area , for a family member of my fiancé , who is wheel chair bound with cerebral palsy . Her van has taken a complete dive and is dead lol she has made a go fund me account which I will later share , to ask for help ( which she hates to do ) to get a new handicap accessible van , and help with some household bills . This girls deserves it more than anyone , she is happy all the time , and she goes to college and does so many things that you wouldn’t believe ! However , she can now not go ANYWHERE ! So I decided , let’s do a fundraiser ! I’ll be doing my bbq thing and selling plates , we’ll be doing raffles and all that good stuff . We will be hosting it in Spring Hill close to her , bc - remember - she can’t go any where ! Soooo if anyone in a band or DJ would like to donate their awesomeness for a few hours sometime in feb . To play let me know .. also , if you have a business ans would like to donate a gift card or just want to donate a gift basket , let me know ! I realize 99% of you are not in Spring Hill Fl however , let me know if you would like to help out . When I get the details worked out I will be posting the event and her go fund me link as well 🙂 thanks ! Please text or call me at 813-403-8668 I am not on this page everyday !! Thanks

04/04/2019

OUR ADDRESS IS 2706 Ranch rd Dover road FL 33527 .....closest intersection is Durant rd and Dover rd .
IMPORTANT INFO FOR GPS - please make sure it is taking you to ranch rd near Durant and Dover rd . If it takes you to starlite mhp , type in Valrico for the city not Dover . Most gps systems don’t get it right , this is due to the fact that when we bought the place 30 years ago , it was still Dover , now it’s turned into Valrico lol but we still have the same address and some how the county has allowed for a trailer park to have the same address as us and the newer gps systems consider this Valrico ! Sorry for the details but it’s hard to type and explain to everyone 🤪🤪 also please watch for our turtles who have burrows near by and sometimes get caught in the drive way ! Just shoo them to the side and leave them be if you come across one , please don’t run them over they are gopher turtles .

The event will be open to public APRIL 5th At 8:30 am till 4 pm and same hours on SATURDAY THE 6th . However the bbq will not be open until around 10am , but open till 4:30/5 pm both days . Thanks

FAQ—————

Also , PLEASE make sure to look for exit signs when you leave the parking , it is.NOT. The same way you came in ! It is a one way in , other way out type of deal ! This is bc our drive and road is very skinny and do not fit more than one vehicle lol , handicap parking is on the closest fence towards the house next to walk way ..
a lot of you have questions if it is wheel chair accessible , it is a flat pasture and a yard , not a traditional parking lot , there are no stairs or closed gates and we have had plenty of wheelchairs come and get around fine , but I cannot say that for each individual .

The bathrooms are ports potty’s located to the right of the walkway near the barn area . Again , they are very wide and roomy but there is no ramp to get in them so I can not deem it handicap friendly .

There is no atm on sight , however most of our vendors use square , clover or some sort of pos system that can take cards and the closest atm is at the 7/11 at Dover and 60.
Free parking and admission ,

there is also a walk through area for you to use , it is against the fence line near the center of the house , so for your safety please don’t walk down the entrance and hop the fence or gate .. I promise we’ve made it easier for you than that !!

Please stay within the vending area , the barn , and back pasture is off limits ! There are animals in there that we want to keep in there , it is a private area .
The main house is also a private area except for the carport side ( opposite from barn side , same side as driveway ) there are a few shops INSIDE ! Take a look !

The bbq is located on the barn side , just look for the smoker , or use your nose 🙂 it is set up as a walkthrough instead of a drive through ! There will be a few tables for you to sit down and eat at . Kettle corn and lemonade , as well as a gourmet bakery vendor is set up nearly in front of the main house .

SMOKING GYPSY BBQ WILL BE THERE AND HAVE A FULL MENU !!!
this is an antique and craft type market that we hold twice a year this will be our 5th year . We do have a bbq vendor and a dessert vendor as well as a lemonade vendor amongst many others we have about 20 so far . We are still in need for vendors , we just had inquiries for essential oils and a handcrafted soap vendor so we may not need those items , and we do have jewelry items vendors. We are not against companies or chain vendors but we want to make sure it fits our market and you do well also . Some items just don’t sell well here like new clothing/clothing lines , yard sale items etc . We have a lot of antiques , refurbished , handcrafted items and what not we are even selling plants . We are looking for vendors , possibly a produce vendor , hand crafted items , vintage , antique , furniture , etc. the fee is only 35$ for a 10x10 space ( after open you can spread out a little ) this is only 35$ for both days !! and must be mailed into us before the 4th of April . If you feel like mailing it would take longer than that I will be giving you the owners phone number and you can arrange to drop it off .. or work it out with her in some way 🙂
