Welcome to the Sunshine State Eggfest 2012
We are one of the largest Eggfest By Eggers, For Eggers.
The Sunshine State Eggfest will again be held underneath the beautiful setting of the Host Hotel, Crowne Plaza Resort in Melbourne, Florida. Last year’s fest was a huge success with over 500 Eggheads in attendance.
The demo classes were such a success, we will bring them back again. If you would like to see what it was like, go to the eggfest video page. For those that missed coming last year, the Sunshine State Eggfest is held at the host hotel on a covered deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Visit www.melbournebeachesflorida.com for links to this beautiful part of Florida. This link also provides information showing the numerous attractions in the area. With so much more to do, this is truly being an Eggfest and vacation to be remembered.
