Stephen Foster State Park

Carillon Tower
My last night of camping for a while is at this Florida park about 30 miles south of the Georgia border. It's on the Suwanee river and is a cultural center highlighting Foster as well as crafts and other music. The annual Florida Folk festival is held here on Memorial Day weekend and there are many other events during the year. I was surprised by the carillon which was designed and created by the Deagan Co of Chicago and having 97 bells. It chimed until 6 pm so I'm not sure if I can count on it as an alarm clock.
