The Florida Strawberry Festival means plenty of strawberries, of course. But there’s a lot more than fruit to draw you to the annual event, now in its 76th year. And on Wednesday, there’s an even better reason for active military and first-responders to attend: Free admission.

Do It This Weekend: Back to the Future pub crawl, a Rays watch party, ARTpool's Tra'shion Fashion show, the Tampa Elvis Festival, St. Pete's Cool Arts Show and more
Posted by Franki Weddington on Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 12:00 AM
Let's be honest: we're all itching for a chance to dig out our box of '80s gear -- you know, the one hiding scrunchies, leg warmers in every shade of neon,
The Rays Watch Party is the next best thing to going out to the ballgame (since this one’s in NYC, it’s definitely friendlier on the wallet, too). See the action on an ginormous screen set up right on the beach while the 620 WDAE “The Sports Animal” guys commentate the whole thing play by awesome play. It’ll be like Crawford is hitting homers right into your frozen margarita. You can also get all your deliciously artery-clogging gametime snacks like grilled burgers and chicken sandwiches, wings and bratwurst with sauerkraut (and, of course, the brews will be flowing) -- all without missing an entire inning in line at the concession stand. Sunday's game is against the hated New York Yankees. 1:05 p.m. Sun., July 18., Tradewinds Island Grand Resort, 5500 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach, free, 727-367-6461. --Franki Weddington

The Preston Sturges comedy classic is an oldie but a goodie, and best of all, it’s a freebie. Plus, even though it’s really about a guy who’s been duped into believing he won 25 grand and not a freak summer blizzard (a gal can dream), at least it conjures up memories of cooler weather. If the cash you save on movie admission is burning a hole in your pocket, you can also brave the heat to check out St. Pete Beach’s “sales extravaganza,” taking over the streets just outside the theater, where you’ll find door prizes, discounts, and live music. 10 a.m. Sat., July 17, Beach Theatre, 315 Corey Ave., St. Pete Beach, coreyave.com. --Franki Weddington

Posted by Kelly Steele on Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 6:25 AM
Two years ago NASA offered to send your name to the moon, in a campaign that eventually filled the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) with 1.6 million names submitted by the public. Now NASA is upping the ante and offering to put your "Face in Space." That's right, folks, your picture could be put onto two of the remaining space shuttle missions and launched into orbit. And to make this tasty piece of cake even sweeter, it only takes three easy steps.
