</B><B> BY NATIONAL PARKS AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION</B><B></B></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">Florida State Parks was once again awarded the National Recreation and Parks Association’s Gold Medal Award, honoring Florida as the “Nation’s Best State Park Service”. The Gold Medal, a second for Florida’s park system, was presented at the 2005 National Recreation and Park Association Congress and Exposition in San Antonio, Texas. </SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">“Winning the Gold Medal Award twice in the last five years is a remarkable accomplishment for Florida State Parks, and I applaud the park rangers and staff for making it possible,” said Governor Jeb Bush. “By preserving natural Florida lands as recreational and educational opportunities for more than 17.3 million visitors each year, we are protecting wildlife habitat and offering more open space for families to enjoy.”</SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">The Gold Medal honors the nation’s outstanding park and recreation agencies for excellence in the field of recreation management. The State Park Award, presented every other year, focuses on the achievements of state park system and its programs providing recreational, educational and leisure services to its citizens.</SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">The Florida Park Service, managed under the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, was a finalist in the National Recreation and Parks Association Gold Medal award in 1997, and won the Gold Medal in 1999. This year, the Florida Park Service’s first opportunity to reapply since 1999, is the only time a state agency has won the Gold Medal twice. Florida competed with state park systems from Missouri, North Carolina and Tennessee for the award.</SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">“This designation is a reflection of the Governor and Cabinet’s focus on preservation and protection of Florida’s environment,” said Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Colleen M. Castille. “The dedication of more than 1,000 park rangers and management staff is the foundation of this prestigious award, and we could not have achieved this without their support.”</SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><SPAN LANG="en-us">Florida’s state park system is one of the largest in the country with 159 parks spanning more than 723,000 acres and 100 miles of sandy white beach. From swimming and diving in Florida’s rivers and springs to birding and fishing or hiking and riding on natural scenic trails, Florida’s state parks offer year-around outdoor activities for all ages. Battle reenactments and Native American festivals celebrate Florida’s unique history, while art shows, museums and lighthouses offer a window into Florida’s cultural heritage.</SPAN></P>

<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=1 FACE="Verdana">Horse-drawn wagon rides, homemade jams and jellies, and making hand-churned butter and lye soap are among the old-time traditions of Florida that will be presented at Rural Folklife Days.<BR>
<BR>
The festival at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park celebrates farm and household traditions that remain a part of family and community life. Area residents demonstrate how to preserve fruits and vegetables with home canning, how to plait a cow whip by hand, and how to make a hand-sewn quilt. This year's event includes storytellers Aunt Peggy and Jay, a demonstration of hand-tied cast nets by Florida Folk Heritage Award winner Stuart Pacetti, and traditional children's games. A cane grinder operated by a donkey will press juice from sugar cane as Mary and Ivey Harris boil the juice down to the consistency of dark syrup.<BR>
<BR>
School groups are encouraged to attend for a fun and educational day revisiting how to make homemade peanut brittle or how a blacksmith forges iron into tools. Among the educational activities are opportunities to try quilting, play horseshoes and learn a local form of the checkers board game known as pool checkers. Most of the demonstrations throughout the day are designed to allow children to participate in the activity. Schools may pre-register by calling 386-397-4478.<BR>
<BR>
Senior citizens are encouraged to attend to enjoy reminiscences and participate in activities from earlier days. Visitors will be able to buy lye soap, cane syrup and a variety of other candies, jellies and crafts made by demonstrators at the festival. Food concessions also will be available.<BR>
