Kelly Quigley on Sarasota
I love that there is always something to do, fun to be had, and food for the body and the mind in our region. I hope you'll find this a great source of information about Sarasota and beyond.
You may have to stay home but online tours can take you anywhere!
Sarasota is known for outstanding performances, art and entertainment.
As a foodie, I love finding great dining - and recommending my faves!
