I took my family to Terror Trail at the Humane Society. I cannot say enough good things about it; it was above and beyond my expectations. Can't think of anything else you could do for $7 and be that entertained. As we waited in line and heard all the screams, my adrenaline began to rise. By the time I entered "The Bus," I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I almost turned around but decided to put my heart back in my chest and walk forward. ...more

I would like to thank everyone who helped make this year's Halloween Terror Trail at the Humane Society a huge success. It would not have been possible without the help of so many people. The high school students who volunteered their time, many repeatedly, were absolutely phenomenal. They came from all three high schools in the county, and each school should be very proud of the students representing their school. We had several repeat volunteers from Lake Placid Health Care Center. The employees and volunteers from the Humane Society were also there night after night. An all new Terror Trail will be back next year; bigger, better and scarier than ever. ...more

It's that time of the year. Those tired of Highlands County's summer doldrums should get their planning calendars out. Longtime residents will attest that from October to April, the roads are not the only things that get busy. Bands rev up for their acts; crafts and art shows offer back-to-back fares for Christmas shopping; dance clubs get moving, and residents get something to do. This year, there will be some big and small changes in the events schedule. A longtime November arts and crafts festival has been replaced by a smaller one in March. The Highlands Art League, which sponsors this festival, has refocused its efforts with brand new art events for the community. The Sebring downtown Gallery Walk has been discontinued for now and may restart later in the season. The Sebring Carousel of Lights will be more amped up. At least one new Halloween spook-out awaits the young and the young-at-heart. A community "paint out" has been planned for next year, and a new dance club is in town. Here's a list of what to expect new this season: ...more
