Weekend Fun: Palm Harbor in the 1940-60s, Car Show, Flea Market

Fun Things on Saturday 

1) Palm Harbor Paean Book Signing

Ever wonder what Palm Harbor used to be like "back in the day"? Authors Raymond E. Hall and Francine Coleman Larson lived in Palm Harbor when they were kids. They've written a cool book called "Palm Harbor Paean", which means "praise for the people of Palm Harbor" and will be at the Palm Harbor Antiques and Uniques Saturday for a book signing. 

"I think there's no more wonderful people than the people in Palm Harbor, where I grew up," said Larson by phone Thursday from Dade City where she now lives.

The book describes what life was like in Palm Harbor in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. 

"It was innocent and free and you didn't have to lock your doors and everybody helped each other," she added.

Larson and Hall rely on their own experiences and draw from experiences shared by former Palm Harbor residents.
