3/4/20 - By James Smith

There is good news for fans of sunshine this weekend. Daylight saving time brings an extra hour of afternoon sunlight to the Sunshine State, so why not get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Hit the Central Florida Fair in Orlando this weekend before its annual run closes. Take in an arts festival in Lake Mary, or challenge yourself on the rides at the Apopka Fair.

Speaking of rides, there are theme park celebrations at Universal, SeaWorld and Epcot, and even a retro toy fest in Kissimmee.

Whatever you do this weekend, know that your friends at Mommy Poppins Orlando will be with you throughout 2020 with updates on the best family happenings in the area.
