AVON PARK — Three weeks after the Boys and Girls Club's Avon Park branch opened at Memorial Field, the club is still getting a second portable ready, and is working on a deck to connect its two trailers. But membership has already shot up well beyond what Executive Director Wally Randall predicted. The branch's new location has 74 members, and 65 children can be found either studying or screaming, racing and playing around the two portables on any given weekday after school. That's slightly more than the number of kids at the club's main branch in Sebring. "We were expecting 40. On the first day, close to 60 showed up," Randall said. ...more

SEBRING — Exactly one week after their school and all its contents were destroyed by a fire, the preschoolers at My School Preschool played with blocks, worked on art projects and read books in their new home.

LAKE PLACID — Tiles by Fran Inc. has been in business in Lake Placid more than 20 years, but the company's Paula Tharpe believes few people in the community know about the decorative tile operation. But that should change because of a new address. Tiles by Fran Inc. has moved from Placid Lakes to 208 N. Main Ave. in downtown Lake Placid. "I knew we had to move into town to get traffic and let people know we are in business," Tharpe said. Fran and Paul Hadden, Paula's parents, started the business in the mid-1980s. Fran started in her home and then 15 years ago moved the business to Lake Groves Road in Placid Lakes. ...more
