West Central Florida ActiveRainers enjoyed Meetup at Tarpon Springs Today!

Today was Meetup day for ActiveRainers in West Central Florida! ActiveRain bloggers from Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and even as far as Sarasota County came together to meet with their AR friends!

The setting at Billy's Tarpon Turtle Restaurant overlooking beautiful Tarpon Lake couldn't have been better!

The food was good and plentiful... the company was the best... and a great time was had by all!

Eleven of us had plenty of things to talk about including ActiveRain, blogging, and of course, real estate. Oh, and not all of us were Realtors. Home inspector Fred Herndon joined us once again! We also had a new blogger join us, eager to learn about ActiveRain and what it is all about! Barbara-Jo Roberts did a great job again organizing this meetup.
