Fun Train Robbery?

Fun Train Robbery?

By Kai Rambow

 

There was a lull in the shooting; both sides were out of bullets. “Keep talking while I’m reloading,” instructed the sheriff to the bad guy. This is just one of the fun moments during the Hole in the Head Gang – Train Robbery.

The Florida Railroad Museum has a knack for not just taking passengers on a train ride, but creating memorable experiences.  Adults were just as enthused, maybe more so, than kids to get their picture taken with a cast of characters.

The first set of dates will be at the end of this month.  Events at the Railroad Museum are very popular and sell out quickly.  So, if you’d like to do this, get your tickets early.

The “Hi, Neighbor!” Tradition Continues

Don’t miss it: November 7 at 6:30 p.m.

By Bob Sanchez

 

“Hi, Neighbor!” is coming to Community Hall on South Pebble Beach on November 7 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. Whether you’re new to Sun City Center or just want to see what’s new with our clubs, this is the perfect event for you. Members of almost 100 clubs will be ready to answer your questions and pique your interest. Aston Gardens will supply cookies, coffee and iced tea that the Line Dance Club will serve.

“Hi, Neighbor!” is Sun City Center’s oldest tradition, having begun as the community’s first club in 1962. John and Linda Bowker gave it new life in 1992, and since then it has evolved as a showcase for our cornucopia of clubs. Event Director Claudia Hinson says that the event offers residents “a more personal connection to the clubs.” Janet Ditmore has volunteered to serve as 2019 “Hi, Neighbor!” Chair.

Candidate for Board Withdraws

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE SCC COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

 

Mike Burnham has withdrawn his name from the candidates running for the Board of Directors. Since the remaining three candidates — Eric Porr, Ron Matelski, and Bob Sullivan — are running unopposed, the “Meet the Candidates Night” scheduled for November 13 has been cancelled.

To learn more about the remaining candidates, be sure to read their interviews in the November issue of The News, here. Note: That issue includes interviews with all four candidates, because Mr. Burnham’s resignation was announced after the issue had been printed.
