After all the excitement of Halloween and before Thanksgiving enjoy some fun in Orlando celebrating Guy Fawkes Day!  This is a British holiday celebrating the failed attempt by Guy Fawkes and a group of Conspirators to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Parliament.  So for the last 400 years Bonfires have burned across the United Kingdom on November 5^th to mark the failed Gunpowder Plot.  Now they are bringing this tradition to Kissimmee for family fun evening. 

The fun begins on November 5^th at 7pm at the Champions World Resort, and will include a HUGE bonfire, British food and drinks, carnival games, and a magic show.  And for the little ones there will be face painting, and bounce houses.  To end the evening there will be a fabulous fireworks display. 

Celebrate a different type of holiday in Orlando at the distinctively British celebration of Guy Fawkes Day!

A number of research studies have shown that home ownership provides social and societal benefits. Not only is home ownership one of the best ways to build long-term wealth, providing resources for a more comfortable retirement, but it also fosters an immeasurable sense of community and stability vital to growing families. NAR’s “Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing” report reveals that home owners are happier and healthier. They tend to vote more, volunteer more and contribute more to their neighborhoods. Home owners do not move as frequently as renters, which encourages more neighborhood stability, and children of home owners are more likely to participate in organized activities and spend less time in front of the television.
