DADE CITY - Thousands braved chilly rains Saturday to attend the 11th annual Kumquat Festival, celebrating the tiny, tangy citrus fruit that's become east Pasco County's calling card.

The event packed a day's worth of fun into historic Dade City, including a car show, arts and crafts, vintage fire trucks and farm tools, wagon rides and a farmers market.

For more festival coverage, see Monday's Pasco Tribune.
