Polk Pride 2015

The First Outdoor Pride event for Polk Pride 2015 was a huge success. Scott Guira, Lakeland Youth Alliance coordinator for the weekend Pride event and Pride committee leaders were given a commendation by Lakeland City Commissioners James Malless and Justin “Coach” Troller on stage at the beginning of the Pride In the Park that was set in Munn Park in downtown Lakeland.

Friday kicked off the weekend fest with flamboyant movie and TV star from “Will & Grace”, comedic Leslie Jordan performed to a packed crowd at the Polk Theater.

Saturday’s festival, Pride in the Park had a large number of business and Non Profit vendors from around Central Florida. Along with a long list of entertainers, musical groups and a side street full of Food Trucks.

Congratulations to Polk County millennial youth groups showing and demonstrating GLBT diversity in smaller communities.

Happy 40th Birthday, ‘Oeil de Perdrix’, (White Zinfandel)

The French name “Oeil de Perdrix” ( French for ‘eye of the partridge’) was the original name to the most popular wine of our times, “White Zinfandel.” Created by accident in 1972 by Bob Trinchero, Trinchero Family Estate owner and winemaker and bottled in 1975 from the Nappa County California famed wine country estate of Sutter Home Winery. Thus White Zinfandel is an American born favored dry wine.

White Zinfandel is not a grape variety but a method of processing grapes. It was one of the greatest contributors to wine enthusiasts and non wine drinkers in establishing a palate for an increase in wine drinking in the 1980s thru 2000’s.

So we salute a Great 40th Birthday wish to White Zinfandel

Tampa NEW Riverwalk Finally Opens

The Downtown Tampa Riverwalk that took 6 Tampa mayors terms to start and finish is completed. The 1.8 mile walkway along the Hillsborough River and the Garrison in Channelside to Curtis Hixon Park had its dedication Friday, March 27 in thunderous rainy clouds.

An additional 1/2 mile will be built on the Riverwalk’s north trail up to the newly built Water Works Park. This will be a great walking, strolling, viewing walkway in the center of the downtown district. A big hit for locals and visitors alike.

Eight Tampa Mayors were there for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the other five mayors all cut the new beginnings ribbon.

The start and idea of the Riverwalk Park was started under the 1975 leadership of Mayor Bill Poe. Since then 5 mayors helped give a boost and flavor of the city river front walkway.

The previous Tampa mayors included Bill Poe, Dick Greco, Sandy Friedman, Bob Martinez, Pam Iorio and current Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn were all in attendance for the big event.
