Attendees of the 7th annual Orange Blossom Festival suited up for the rain-or-shine, two-day event. Feb. 28, children and adults sported slippery ponchos , while they enjoyed games and the items for sale at the range of vendors housed at the Orange Blossom Festival at Mixon Fruit Farms. Children climbed a rock wall, bungee jumped and enjoyed games inside the Kid’s Zone adjacent to the farm’s parking lot. Other attendees preferred a dryer option and snacked on orange swirl ice cream cones inside of the Mixon’s gift shop.
