Wild Florida Takes a Trip Up North

ORLANDO, Fla. - Jan. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- On Wednesday, January 28th, Wild Florida will make history as they depart from the Sunshine State with an airboat in tow.  Alongside Visit Orlando, the eco-tour company will be attending the Wiarton Willie Festival in Ontario, Canada. The team plans to introduce a warming zone complete with sub-tropical temperatures, calypso music, hot chocolate, a spectacular ice carving display, an airboat and even live alligators.

Wiarton Willie was a Canadian groundhog who lived in the community of Wiarton in Bruce County, Ontario. Every February 2, on Groundhog Day, Willie took part in the local Wiarton Willie Festival. His role, like Punxsutawney Phil’s, is to predict whether there will be an early spring. The Wiarton Willie Festival has been called "One the most popular events in Ontario," and has twice been named "The World's Greatest Event" by Seattle's Festivals.com.

During their trip, the Wild Florida team will make several stops consisting of live news interviews and meet and greets with Canada's biggest tour operators.  To follow the team on their trip, follow their Facebook page at facebook.com/wildfloridairboats.
