In addition to learning all about the origins of the State of Florida, Palm Beach County and Lake Worth, the Boca Woods Country Club learned the history of the Town of Lantana whose given name came from Mr. M.B. Lyman who settled in the area in 1889 and he also became the first postmaster for Lantana. The culinary tastings began with trips to the family-owned George's Meat Market followed by tastings at the Cheese & Wine Café. After the visit to Lantana, the bus took Boca Woods Country Club to Lake Worth for the Sabal Palm House Bed & Breakfast; South Shores Tavern; Brogues Down Under; Artisans on the Ave Gallery and lastly to the Creative Corner Gallery where they met Lake Worth artist Julia Longwell.
