Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

What a fun day today was!  Tampa Pride, along with 50 other Tampa Bay charities, was invited to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino for a surprise event. 7 of us from Tampa Pride suited up and headed over, not having any idea what to expect. We were treated to a great buffet breakfast of hot food or pastries, then a fun presentation by America’s Got Talent artist David Garibaldi. Finally, 50 employees gathered on the stage with large cards. When they turned them around, they were $10,000 checks for all 50 charities!!!  Wow!! Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino gave back to our community $500,000!!!! Thank you, Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino!

Levi’s Bar and Grill

Road Trip!!! We packed Miss Joey Brooks into  the car and headed out of Ybor to Levi’s bar and Grill in New Port Richey. We were told this is the only LGBT Club in Pasco County. There is a beautiful stage and friendly staff here. The Friday night we were there the show was like nothing we had seen before.

Busch Gardens Tampa

Busch Gardens Tampa

In 1980 a ticket to Busch Gardens cost $9.35 and a Season pass was $25. We were poor starving USF kids then. After several weeks of saving, we purchased our season pass. At the Busch gardens Hospitality House, you could get 3 samples of free beer. Walk a little and come back after shift changes and get 3 more LMAO!!! What a deal for college kids. We would go at least 2 times a month some times more. Over the years going to Busch Gardens was like going back home. Some things change while other things remain the same. Fast forward 40 years later and we have the Covid Christmas. Several friends told us how safe it was, so we decided to give it a try. Our group traveled in separate cars. From the time you step on the trams the park did an incredible job.  There was social distancing, everyone had a mask on and hand sanitizer stations everywhere. The enclosed entertainment areas and some rides were closed. That was OK. It was so much fun strolling thru the park and saying hi to our favorite animals. We found a Gay Pride display in a store. Had a photo taken with Rudolph The Reindeer and so much more.  With all our memories it truly was like going home for the holidays. Thank You Busch Gardens for being so responsible.
