Plant City themed trivia
The monthly Tuesdays at the Archives program featured a “So You Think You Know Plant City” themed trivia night for its January event. Hosted by Gil Gott, the executive director for the Plant City Photo Archives, the game asked questions about the first person in the city to own a car, the largest fire to ever hit the city and of course, the Florida Strawberry Festival.
The Archives provided free wine, beer, cheese and other refreshments. The activity was free and winners received special prizes. Each month the Archives hosts a themed event for the community. The Archives are located at 106 S. Evers St. in historic downtown Plant City and is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Plant City flocks to pop-up Chick-fil-A
The Chick-fil-A pop-up location in Plant City officially opened Jan. 8 drawing lines down the block. The location is open at the Plant City EDC office, 118 W. Reynolds St., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Several customers said they waited up to an hour for the food during the opening week.
The menu is limited but includes original and spicy chicken sandwiches, nuggets and more. EDC President Jake Austin said the group wanted to “gain attention through consistent demand in the market.” The food is prepared at the Lakeland location and brought to Plant City via trucks.
