I know it’s a little early to mention it, but the Oviedo Butterfly Festival and Nature Art Show is coming up in September, so I thought I’d remind you far enough ahead in advance that you can put it on your calendars.
September 20th and 21st, 2000
Apparently they even have live, native Florida animals, Jazz music, food, and more!

What is 311?
Seminole County 311 is a simple, three-digit number residents, businesses and visitors can call to reach the County to inquire about services, report problems, check the status of issues, or get information.

Who can call 311?
Anyone in the Seminole County limits can call 3?1?1 free of charge (however pay phone and cellular phone airtime charges do apply).

Like every community, we have the good, the bad, and the ugly (but we’ll let you decide which is which).
- The youth of a local Church spearheaded a food drive that netted about two tons of food - at least for this quarter, anyway. Wow! Way to go. Their youth director vowed to have his head shaved into a mohawk and dyed if the kids could meet their goals. Please, someone send us a picture!
- Apparently, police had to taser and arrest a man after he resisted arrest outside The Hitching Post Bar & Grill in Chuluota, July 16th. The Seminole Chronicle reports that it began as a bar fight due to some rude comments and ended in three arrests. Guess this turned into an expensive night of drinking for 3 folks.

Ever play cornhole?
Well, if not, then apparently the American Cornhole Association thinks you’re missing out on something.
Cornhole (aka corn toss, bean toss, bean bag toss, etc, etc) is a “hillbilly game” that is played like lawn darts, or horse shoes, or ring toss. Basically, you take turns throwing bags of corn at a little hole cut in a wooden target. Simple and fun for the whole family. Or so they say.
Wanna find out for yourself? Our very own local watering hole, The Hitching Post, established 1978, welcomes you to come play every Sunday at 2pm. Go check it out, and let us know what you think!

This week the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections office unveiled a brand new registration drive aimed at allowing residents to register to vote at their local merchants. The program, dubbed Register @the Register, is in cooperation with a variety of local merchants who have agreed to allow voter registration forms to be located in their stores or restaurants.
Participating merchants don’t assist registrants with the process, nor do they receive the completed forms. Registrants pick-up the forms from the merchant and deliver or mail it to the Seminole County Elections Office.
