Ocali Country Days
For one week, early in November, the Center and Park put on the Ocali Country Days as a fund raiser. This is a 19th century, living history event with displays, talks, and performances incorporating living historians. For that Tuesday through Friday it is open to public, private and home school-age children and their teachers who have made reservations with the Center. In 2008, attendance was limited to 1,200 students and teachers per day and this quota was filled every day. So make your reservations early.
The event is open to the general public on Saturday and Sunday and has become a popular annual attraction in the area.

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or days:
“For what were all these country patriots born?
To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
