Florida Represent at Suwannee Hulaween!

This is intended as a primer of Florida talent at Hulaween for those not from the Sunshine State, but even we Floridians don’t know all of them; this state is straight-up STACKED with talent. So here, at best, are thumbnail sketches of those performing, displaying their arts and crafts, or creating visual displays for Spirit Lake.

And for certain we’ve missed some, and for that we regret any omissions!
