  • Relay walkers, volunteers honored

    Last month, 25 teams raised more than $27,000 in the West Marion Relay for Life.

    Last week, top teams were awarded prizes for their effort during a wrap-up party at Countryside Presbyterian Church.

    Earning the designation as top team, based on money raised, was The Stalkers of Oak Run. The group raised $4,605 to benefit the American Cancer Society.  John Sullivan was the team captain.

    Sullivan personally was recognized as the second highest individual fundraiser and the Stalkers team also had the best decorated campsites judges decided.

  • Charity event honors WWII vets

     The Ocala Honor Flight got a $7,676 boost from the Ocala Palms community Saturday night.

    The fundraising event also honored the World War II veterans living in their community – both those in attendance and those homebound.

    In organizing the event, members of the Ocala Palms Planning Committee were accepting a challenge from the SummerGlenn community. In that challenge other retirement communities were challenged to plan a fundraising activity for the Honor Flight effort, said Janet Fassano, chairperson of the event.

  • Creativity sparks laughter

     If laughter is good medicine, there should be healthier people in Foxwood Farms because of the Spring Fling Luncheon and Fashion Show last week.

    Laughter was often heard as models strutted down the runaway, the center aisle of the community center, in their fashionable attire.

    Outfits for the show were pulled together by clever minds, twisting the words normally used to describe a piece of clothing, said Cheryl Gowan, one of the organizers of the annual event.

  • Race day attracts crowds

     

     

    Quail Meadow resident Kitty Ware is one of many who head to the Ocala Breeders Sales complex one day at year for the annual Day of Champions Stake.

    She likes coming.

    Sitting under an umbrella with former neighbor Larrin Horsey, they both say seeing the horses is the reason they attended the annual event.

    Horsey now lives in the Morriston area. He moved there to help his daughter with her horse farm, Scanlon Training Center.
