Do you know what a Groupon is? I didn’t get the concept at first, but now that I do, I’m hooked. They’re coupons for absolutely anything and everything, and they’re awesome. The deals are sold in large quantities or groups: group + coupon = Groupon. My sister got me a spa Groupon for my birthday. I gifted an Old Navy Groupon to my niece for back-to-school. And now there are get-away Groupons! But the real reason I’m talking about them is that there are a few things-to-do-in-Sarasota Groupons happening right now:
This one I’ve done and highly recommend: Half Off the Sarasota Medieval Fair It’s not held on the Ringling grounds anymore, but let’s face it, we were spoiled. The raucous fun that comes with hurling tomatoes and gnawing on over-sized turkey legs should have never taken place in such a pristine locale. It’s at the Sarasota Fairgrounds this year November 12-13 and 19-20.
This one I’ve never even heard of, so please leave a comment if you get in on the Groupon and do this. 51% Off Sarasota Gondola Ride from Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar.
Remember these are Groupons; the deals will expire within the next day…but there will be more. Follow me on Twitter to get the updates – @LettuceShare.
