Plenty of bad stuff swirls around us these days but all it takes is a look around every now and then to see a lot of good as well. These acts of kindness and wholesomeness are everywhere, if we take time to see them. There's been no better places to witness these things in the last week or so than in Avon Park and Sebring's community Christmas parades. ...more

A recent review (not in Highlands Today) was very unfair and very misleading with regards to the comments made about the production of "Beauty and the Beast" at Highlands Little Theatre. I sincerely hope that the review did not cost Highlands Little Theatre and the "Beauty and the Beast" performers any revenue from lost ticket sales. ...more

AVON PARK — A quote on one of the floats aptly described the point of Monday's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. parades, both in Avon Park's Southside and in Lake Placid's Highway Park neighborhood. "Live the Dream," the backboard of the float read. Three men dressed in a suit, a cap and gown and medical gowns rode with a group of kids as they greeted a crowd of about 600 lining the sidewalks of Delaney Avenue Monday afternoon. The Junior Diamonds, Senior Diamonds and Baby Diamonds performed marching dance routines while nine children cheer-led for the Avon Park Recreation Center. They came along with four floats, youth groups and church vans among the 21 registered entries, according to Cynthia Barrett, the executive director of the Family Christian Association of America. At Highway Park, NAACP Highlands County chapter president Brenda Gray said "the march was good," though she could not give a crowd estimate.
