For the second time this year I was unable to see the live mermaid show at Weeki Wachee Springs. This time it was because the park was at capacity. However, all was not lost as I was able to find several of the hidden mermaid statutes that have been repositioned throughout Hernando County. Meet mermaid Marina by artist Renata Villemaire! #themermaidtaletrail #weekiwacheemermaids #weekiwachee #weekiwacheesprings weekiwacheesprings

Mermaid Ila is waiting for you! 🧜🏻‍♀️🌟

Come pick up a map of the #mermaidtaletrail at the market and find our hidden mermaid on campus! 🥰

There are 27 larger-than-life statues hidden around Hernando County - all painted by local artists. 🖌🎨

Finding them them all makes for an exciting day trip or an excuse to go off the beaten path! 🏞

whether you go out and find all 27 mermaids in one day, or discover them a slower pace, you’re guaranteed to enjoy some beautiful sites and discover some new hidden gems along the way. 🌻💚🌈

Today, another mermaid sculpture found her home along the mermaidtaletrail! Mermaid Lily is now at Russell Street Park in Brooksville. Lily is very special to us because she was painted by the talented local artist, Gary Duquette, and was sponsored by brooksvillemainstreetfl! Gary is well known for his murals all over Hernando County, as well as his watercolor workshops. 🎨

“A very popular mermaid on Florida’s Adventure Coast, this mermaid has many friends that enjoy her company, including fish, sanderlings, lizards, frogs, and others. A sea turtle appears to be coming out of a cavern, while crabs and various seashells are always nearby. She is frequently seen holding a water lily.” 🧜‍♀️

Safe travels to our beloved Beth Putnam as she heads off on her next adventure today! Beth served as our Chair in 2021 & 2022 and contributed so much to our success, including expanding the Children’s Experience Area at Art In The Park. She has left the council in great hands - recruiting new members from all corners of our community to serve together on the most diverse board the Arts Council has ever seen! 🎨

Thank you to Sparacia Witherell Family Winery & Vineyard for hosting our party to celebrate Beth and Stan last week! It has been hard to say goodbye, but the Hernando County arts community was lucky to have Beth’s love and leadership for as long as we did, and we wish her all the best in all future endeavors. 🫶 #hernandoarts #artscouncil #sparacia

The Unveiling of the Mermaid Tale Trail! 🧜‍♀️

This legacy project coincides with the 75th anniversary of Weeki Wachee Springs State Park – Home of the World-Famous Mermaids. In honor of the Park’s anniversary, 27 mermaid statues will be placed throughout the entire County. Each is hand-painted by a selected artist promoting Florida’s Adventure Coast, Brooksville-Weeki Wachee.

We are proud to be a sponsor of this new project that will bring JOY and inspiration to the community. 💕

👉🏼 SWIPE to see our mermaid, Ila, painted by Roxanne Marie Campbell. 🧜🏽‍♀️ 🐬🌊

Dr. Maria handpicked this artist and named the mermaid herself! We will let you know as soon as possible when Ila will be moved to OM permanently. 🕉
