Did you know that it's possible to be cold in Florida? It's almost lunchtime as I type this and it's 42ºF (5.56ºC). Okay, that's not cold to a lot of you, but for those of us used to sunshine and beach days, that's a bit chilly!

Despite the frozen fingertips, some great things are still happening with event pages getting some much-needed attention as well as some other minor updates to Pressers and business listings. 2025 is starting off on the right foot for sure!
