Mayor Harter: Mild Weather Cancels Winter Activities

Local News News & Updates

Hello Florida,

     This winter has certainly been quite mild, and if you’re a fan of activities to do with ice and snow, you’ve had to head north to enjoy them. With the unusually warm weather the Florida Chamber of Commerce had to cancel its ice skating event last Saturday. Hopefully we will get some colder weather soon so that the Chamber can reschedule before spring arrives.

     I’ve received several complaints about neighbor’s garbage being blown into yards and not being picked up. Please secure your garbage with string or a secure lid when high winds are expected on a garbage or recycling day.  Let’s all be good neighbors and fix this unnecessary problem going forward.
