Saturday, July 2nd: Brew Class 101!
Sanford Homebrew Shop owners, Aaron and Gary, want to show you how easy and fun it is to brew your own beer.
The Brew Class 101 starts with an in-depth explanation of the ingredients and then carries into a brewing session. During this class you will be guided, hands-on, through the entire brewing process. Thanks to innovations in yeast selection and management, you return one week later once your beer has fermented for your Bottling Class.
During the Bottling Class we will walk you through the bottling process which allows you to take home some of your very own hand-made beer.

June 6 – July 29, 2022 leisure travelers can take SunRail to its Sanford station where they will find a free, “Choo-Choo to the Zoo” themed shuttle waiting to transport them to the front gate of the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens in less than 15 minutes. Return shuttle times are timed with scheduled SunRail departures from the Sanford station and posted for customers at the drop off areas at the zoo.“Over the last two years, we’ve experienced a surge in leisure ridership on SunRail,” said Florida Department of Transportation District Five Secretary John E. Tyler. “A partnership like Choo- Choo to the Zoo and others we have developed with sports, music and cultural venues provide affordable, reliable transportation to so many unique events and destinations up and down the SunRail line.”Funding for the Zoo trolley was made possible by a generous contribution from the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens.
