So, the fitness festival is over and we’re all breathing a sigh of relief, happy we all made it through alive. As a line of approxiamately 30 people waited outside the door to the exhibit hall on the morning of the 30th at about 8:30am, I briefly thought to myself, “what have I gotten myself into?” At the same time, adreneline was pumping and excitement rushed through my veins. I smiled, and realized, “Hey I played a part in this.” What a great feeling that was!
Then it was time to return to reality and realize these people are waiting for me to tell them something, do something, look and act like I knew what I was doing. I pulled it together, just in time to hear organizer Felina Martin say over the stage speakers, “Welcome to the 3rd Annual Tallahassee Fitness Festival, the doors are now open.” And it began.
Over 50 exhibitors were at the one day event and more than 800 people came through the doors that day. The Army made its first appearance at the event with its rock-climbing wall, a huge hit. And they also performed an Army-style work-out on the Fit Floor, NOT such a huge hit! Other Fit Floor presenters included FIT Awards winner for Best New Instructor Margie Milan and presenting sponsor HUMANA’s Silver Sneakers workout for seniors. Speaking of HUMANA, we were proud and honored to have them as the presenting sponsor for the 3rd Annual Tallahassee Fitness Festival.
Kids had a ball in the Kids Korner with Sparky the Firedog, Batman and Spiderman. They played on the inflatable obstacle course, boxing ring and bounce house. FSU athletes joined the children in the Kids Korner to take photos and sign autographs.
The day was a complete rush and flew by in a flash. We got some wonderful coverage of the event from both news channels as well as Florida A&M University’s news channel.

After the 3rd Annual Tallahassee Fitness Festival there was no rest for the weary, sleepy and sore (from standing on concrete all day). Nope, instead the folks here at Eventions barrelled through to the next event. And that event would be…
…none other than Cupid’s House Party! Now, at this point you may be saying to yourself, “huh?” Let me explain, Cupid’s House Party, affectionately referred to as CHP around Eventions, is a fun evening of singles which includes 3 events in one night.
Event #1 is a divorce party for the recently divorced and broken hearted. This event will feature ‘bash your ex’ games such as a dart board and a special divorce toast.
Event #2 is a bid for bachelors/bachelorettes charity auction. Tallahassee’s sexiest singles and fun date packages will be up for sale. Bidding will start at $20 and bachelors and bachelorettes have chosen the charity they would like to donate their proceeds towards. Charities chosen include the March of Dimes and the American Diabetes Association, among many others. Check out the bachelors and bachelorettes here.
Event #3 is the ’ultimate icebreaker for singles’ you got it, Lock and Key. This event, which is gaining noteriety in the Tallahassee area as the premier event for singles, will cap off this fun singles evening.
This valentine’s day singles don’t have to succumb to a solemn mood, instead they can come out and enjoy a Single-tine’s day celebration!
