Outpost 27 Heats Up with Summer Events

Proving yet again that it is much more than a typical “Visitor’s Center”, Polk Outpost 27 has lined up a pretty impressive list of summer events. Polk Outpost 27, the county’s official visitor information center, has always been described as a hands-on, interactive experience for both visitors and local residents, but they are definitely turning it up a notch as they will host a series of events at the center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The summer event series includes:
Saturday, July 26 – Live Demos by Cypress Gardens and Fantasy of Flight. Interact with a Southern Belle from Cypress Gardens and get a front row seat as an animal handler conducts a live demonstration. In addition, go back in time with a themed aviation character from Fantasy of Flight.

Saturday, August 9 – Get your Game on with Recreation Station. Join other students for a back-to-school bash like no other! Let the arcade experience come to you as Eagle Ridge Mall’s Recreation Station brings a variety of arcade games to “get your game on.”

Saturday, August 23 – Flywheelers’ Restoration Projects. The Florida Flywheelers, an antique engine club, will showcase some of their most unique antique tractors, cars, and stationary engines.

Polk Outpost 27 is located on Highway 27 in Davenport. It is easy to find, just a half mile south of Interstate 4 at Exit 55.
