 Averi's Mane Treats can make large pies and mini pies! Happy Pi Day! Our next local business to be featured in the Support Local Businesses section of The Orlando Millennial is a SWEET one! This business is actually ran by a middle school student in the Horizon West area of Central Florida, and readers - you must try her treats! I think the interview below speaks for itself, so I won't give too much away. Enjoy learning more about Averi's Mane Treats!  Averi was featured in the Southwest Orange Observer for her small business! What is the name of your business? Averi's Mane Treats What type of business is it - what do you offer? I'm a baker and I offer different pastries or treats. I also make treats for horses/dogs.  What made you decide to create a business at such a young age? I wanted to help raise money to help pay for horses, lessons, showing, and all the items needed for horse riding is very expensive. Since starting Averi’s Mane Treats, what have you been able to accomplish? Have you reached many of your goals? I have been able to accomplish raising money, but I have not yet reached my goal for my saddle or shows. I have paid for many items such as riding boots, bags, clothes, and more.  Averi’s Mane Treats has been around for a while now, what is your favorite part about this business of yours? My favorite part of my business is baking and learning how to accomplish anything I dream up. I know horses are very expensive, so I turned my favorite hobby (baking) into a business.  Do you think you will continue this business past the pandemic? Do you ever think about opening up a shop in the future? I will continue this after the pandemic to continue horses, but I don't want to open a shop, I just want to stay small. I would, however, love to partner with a local coffee shop or restaurant, or even farm market. It would be great if they could place an order or two a week and I could deliver it then they can serve it by the slice!  What else would you like to share with us? I can also do custom orders for parties or small events. Where can we find out more on how to order or what you are offering for the week? My St. Patrick's Day menu will be up tomorrow, and I'm offering rainbow cupcakes and Guinness cheesecake brownies. You can visit Averi's Mane Treats by visiting Facebook or Instagram!  Personal message from The Orlando Millennial: Michelle here! I personally have purchased many delectable sweet treats from Averi's Mane Treats since the beginning of the pandemic and I can highly recommend! I have ordered both off her weekly menus and ordered custom treats. Averi is great to work with and can even make items according to dietary restrictions - like Keto or sugar-free friendly! With it being Pi day and St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, be sure to check out Averi's Mane Treats and please be sure to tell them that The Orlando Millennial sent you!

 The next local business that I am featuring does not have a brick and mortar location. I love how many people have started to go out on their own and start their own small businesses with all of their personal creations! What is the name of your business? Kreations by Kelz  What type of business is it - what do you offer? It is a t-shirt business, but I make tote bags and masks as well. I specialize in sports mom shirts, but I do make others as well.  What made you get into this? Whenever my family has a party or get together we get shirts made. It started to get pricey so I learned how to do it and I absolutely love it, now I make all our shirts.
What else would you like to share with us? I am very passionate about my products and each one is made with love.  Where can we find out more, purchase, or see your product? You can find my products on: IG: @kreationsby_kelz Facebook: Kreations by Kelz  Personal message from The Orlando Millennial: Michelle here! Thank you for reading this installment of Support Local section! I am very happy to be bringing these businesses to the forefront and making others aware of them. Please note that although I have not personally purchased from Kreations by Kelz as of yet, I still recommend checking out her pages listed above and supporting local businesses such as hers. Thank you!
 The Orlando Millennial was invited to attend Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Food & Wine Festival this year and it sure did not disappoint. Just like the past few festivals, this one required a park reservation, social distancing, and masks. Y’all, the food at each festival just keeps getting better. I have been to Food & Wine at Busch Gardens before, but hands down, this one was THE BEST. I thought Mardi Gras had the best food and drink- NOPE - this one did! Never have we at The Orlando Millennial eaten or drank so much while at one of the events - but we used THREE sampler cards. Two 5 stamps, and one 12 stamp. Yes… it’s true. The drinks were wonderful and honestly, the festival area was empty as everyone was on the rides, which made it even better.  FAVORITE DRINKS: Hungry Elephant [Frozen] (Giraffe Bar), The Posh Puffin (Giraffe Bar), Chandon Sparkling Brut (Napa Nook), Main & Vine Blood Orange Mango (Vino, Vidi, Vici), Bud Light Seltzer Lemon Lime (#CorksandCoasters Draft House), and the grape Jell-O Shots (XCursions) .  You MUST stop at the Giraffe Bar!  Every festival there are different flavor Jell-O shots. This event: Grape & Titos- So YUM! FAVORITE FOODS: Fried Chicken & Biscuit Slider (Southern Kitchen), Lobster, White Cheddar KRAFT Mac ‘N’ Cheese (All American Eats by KraftHeinz), Drunken Shrimp Tostada *This is listed as beer battered but it is actually not fried* (West Coast Catch), Baileys Bliss Cupcake (XCursions), Hand Carved Espresso-Rubbed Tenderloin (Yuengling Butchery)  Hand Carved Espresso-Rubbed Tenderloin (Yuengling Butchery)  Lobster, White Cheddar KRAFT Mac ‘N’ Cheese (All American Eats by KraftHeinz)  Drunken Shrimp Tostada (West Coast Catch)  Fried Chicken & Biscuit Slider (Southern Kitchen) As always, I highly recommend getting the sampler card. This is a GREAT way to save some money. The drinks will be smaller, but if you want to try a bunch, it's also a great way to do that while saving room in your belly and saving a penny - plus once you know what you love, you can then go back and grab a big one! The food portions stay the same size, which is great. There was tons of seating and tables for eating for this festival. My absolute favorite spot for sure though, was the #CorksandCoasters Draft House area. It is a little hidden gem. We sat there for about an hour or more. Very peaceful in that area and close to drinks if needed. Starting this weekend bands will be playing, so I’m sure it will change, but in the evening a live musician was playing, which also made it nice.
Busch Garden’s Food & Wine Festival will be taking place on weekends until April 25th. It is included with park admission, but food and drinks are sold separately. Park reservations are required, as are masks and social distancing. I am a Busch Gardens blogger ambassador. In exchange for sharing upcoming information sometimes I receive complimentary admission to events. As always, all opinions are my own.

Hey Ya'll!
Hi all! I'm Michelle and I have been a lifestyle blogger since 2017.
