No...the Sugar Cane Festival is being held THIS weekend. The cane looks wonderful-my morning walks are along the headlanes in the cane fields and I've enjoyed watching them grow over the year while listening to the Bob White quail calling at sunrise in the bean fields (the farmers grow soybeans in rotation-if the price is good they harvest if not they just plow into the ground). If you do a fly over you can see where the enterprising have carved out little plots in the middle of the fields to grow the OTHER cash crop
