Row, row, row...and, ho ho ho! This Christmas display of scullers rowing presents to their destination, while very cool by itself, probably is better understood and appreciated with a little backstory. It's located at a retail area created by Benderson Development. (On the same retention pond where I showed you this sailboat with gifts.) Across the road is a relatively new park called Nathan Benderson Park, which has been hosting popular rowing events. Sarasota County recently agreed to invest $19.5 million in tourism funds to help transform the park into a world class rowing venue for tournaments. Row, row, row!

Fantastic reflections!
I can't wait to spend Christmas in Florida. So much cool stuff to see!
What a spectacular display!
Impressive!
I have to say all the decorations would work on me. I would go there to shop and see the lights.
Great colors and reflections. I would never have guessed rowing is such a big deal in your area, but I do remember a post on another blog that referenced college scullers on a river near Tampa. So what do I know? Not much!
That is so cool! I love the imagination people put forth at Christmas
You didn't mention that it's animated! That was a surprise when I drove by last night.
Fantastic! Love this!
Unique and very pretty!
A real WOOOOOOW effect!
