The Sheriff’s Office is performing traffic control and FDOT is putting out smoke signs on U.S. 27. Motorists MUST use caution when driving through this area.

This brush fire is wind driven and has caused several spot fires in the area, which crews are actively responding to.

A friend was telling me about a smashburger place down in Lake Placid, think the name was Peters or something like that. Has anyone been there before, and was it any good.

For some reason, a good burger sounds really nice about now.

I have a lot of women's clothes I want to donate, but I don't want to just dump it at goodwill since I know they're not really the best plus have tons of clothes already. I was wondering if you guys know of any other local thrift stores/charities/shelters that might be in need of some women's small/medium clothing? thank you! :)

Sebring International Raceway
120 Midway Drive, Sebring, FL

A one-day High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) event featuring a 3-run group Chin format, with a modified schedule to take advantage of cooler early hours.

I know there are generally gators in almost all ponds, canals, lakes, etc. and yet I still see people swimming there. Like on Lake Jackson, normally there are pontoon boats out there next to 27 with people in the water.

What gives?

I know in Sebring we have the soda and ice cream place right on the circle, but I heard at the Jacarenda hotel they also have one inside as well. Has anyone been there, and if so. how was it in comparison?

My wife is just starting to get out but she still has not gotten out of her shell 🐚. I have met many and I have also joined some clubs.

Is it me or is Sebring full of to many divorced people?

Has anyone been to Butlers 18 in Avon Park? If so, how is/was it?

hey y'all, I'm a recent college grad who started a marketing/ website business for local businesses here in Sebring. I've been running it for about 1 year now, and I'm capable of building websites, doing SEO, running targeted ads on Facebook & Google, email marketing, custom software solutions and creating marketing content for Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok. I'm looking to partner with some local businesses that can't afford to hire a big company and are looking for an affordable option to handle everything online for them. If this is you or you know anybody who could benefit, i'd love to connect or get a referral.

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m a first grade teacher in the Highlands County School District, and I’m excited to start my third year in the classroom! I truly appreciate any support you can offer to help make my students’ learning experience extra special.

If you’re able to contribute, I’ve put together a classroom wishlist. Please make sure to leave your name on the note so I can personally thank you!

Thank you so much for your kindness and support! ❤️📚

Ever wanted to try MotoSurf? Now's your chance! 

Join us on Thursday, August 27, from 3:00–7:00 PM for Surf Sebring, where you can experience the thrill of MotoSurf—the fast-growing sport of riding electric motorized surfboards—for FREE at Pier Beach on beautiful Lake Jackson.

Ride the same high-performance boards the pros compete on, or simply come watch the action. World Championship MotoSurf athletes will be on site giving live demonstrations, sharing expert tips, and offering instruction to help first-time riders get up and riding.

Participation is free, but all riders must complete an event waiver before participating. Event staff will help you get checked in before your board trial.

Bring your family and friends, experience the excitement firsthand, and get a taste of the action before the MotoSurf Games take over Lake Jackson that weekend. We can't wait to see you on the water!

Event by Visit Sebring and City of Sebring, Florida- Government

This Friday at the Speakeasy out in Spring Lake

I’ve had people ask me where is Sebring, and I’ve always said central Florida. Others have told me that Orlando area or even Jacksonville is central Florida.
But it’s weird for me to think Sebring is in south Florida.
So……where are we?

Well now that the UPS store has opened up (yay) so far the reviews are coming in saying how much easier it is for things. Generally I've had better luck going straight to a UPS store than other locations that are drop off sites.

Are we still under the watering restrictions and burn bans? If so, do we know when they'll rescind them?
