Just a heads up that the Isle of Pines Neighborhood Garage Sale is this Friday and Saturday from 8-4pm, so we will have a lot of outside traffic driving through the neighborhood. Please make sure that you don’t leave valuables in unlocked cars, and don’t leave items in your front yard that someone may think is for the garage sale – or leftover from the garage sale. We haven’t had any problems in the past years – but always a good idea to keep a watchful eye and don’t leave out valuables.
Also – many of you have been asking about the LIGHT UP THE WILD sign at Moss Park. (and some of you were worried about the airboats) I’m helping to coordinate the Boat Parade - so here’s the scoop:
Orange County Parks & Recreation is hosting their first annual Holiday Event here at Moss Park – called
LIGHT UP THE WILD!
Thurs Dec. 19th through Monday Dec. 23rd
Nightly Drive through Holiday Lights & Displays from 6pm – 9pm
Just $5 per car (the normal entrance fee!)
PLUS these extras:
Friday Dec 20th - Boat Parade from 6:30 – 7:30pm
Light Up the Lake Boat Parade is put on by our own LMJ Friends and Neighbors in the surrounding communities, so join in the fun!
(Free to be in the parade! Go online to get details and sign up.)
Parade will start at the south end of the lake cruising past the Isle of Pines, Lake Mary Jane Shores, and then past Moss Park around 7pm.
Saturday Dec 21st – Wild Santa Saturday
starting at 1pm with Wild Florida Airboat Rides
plus a 5K Family Fun Run through the Holiday Lights at 5:30pm
(The Run will be INSIDE Moss Park and will NOT impact traffic on LMJ Rd.)
Plus MUCH more to make it a WILD day:
See live alligators and climb aboard Santa’s airboat sleigh for a family photo op. You don’t want to miss the food trucks, kid’s games, live entertainment, and spending a special evening with Santa, cocoa, campfires, and holiday marshmallows. Take advantage of unique last minute gifts and stocking stuffers too.
Take a break from the shopping malls and make a new family tradition at Moss Park’s LIGHT UP THE WILD!
For more details on how to join the boat parade, register for the run, be a sponsor or a volunteer, to have a local group perform, or to have your club participate in this event, go towww.lightupthewild.eventbrite.
