Two popular events will take place the opening night (Aug. 17) of Citrus Expo 2011: the return of the Casino Night fundraiser for Florida FFA launched last year and the Gulf Citrus Growers Association annual banquet. To better accommodate those who would like to attend both festivities, the banquet will begin slightly earlier this year (5:30-8:30 p.m.), and Casino Night will kick off a little later (8:30-11:00 p.m.). Make your Casino Night ticket donation here. Call 863-675-2180 for Gulf Citrus banquet reservations. We look forward to a fun-filled evening!
