Three times a year, Renninger's hosts the Antiques and Collector's Extravaganza at Renninger's in Mount Dora, FL. The show runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Nearly 800 vendors from all over the country come in to set up and sell out in the show field, in the antique center, and under the pavilions. After all the fun we are taken to cap off the day with the Dora Canal Cruise.
As we cross Lake Dora, you will be given a brief history of Mount Dora and the Harris Chain of Lakes, all the time looking out for bald eagles & osprey. Once under the railway bridge in Tavares, we enter the Dora Canal; the first portion of the canal was dug by hand and is the residential section, beyond is the natural jungle river which winds its way through a Cypress Swamp. This tight meandering passage through the 2,000-year-old trees allows us to search for herons, egrets, anhingas, turtles, and alligators and observe them in their natural habitat.
