The Avon Park Shuffleboard Club held a small reopening ceremony today. President Chris thanked the City of Avon Park, City Manager Jason, and the city staff for the hard work and dedication in the improvements made to the club. He also expressed appreciation for their continued support and commitment to fostering community involvement through shuffleboard, helping make the club a welcoming place for residents to gather and connect.
We hope to see you on the courts and shuffling soon! Everyone is welcome to come out and experience the fun of shuffleboard.

The Highlands County burn ban was not extended and expired at 11:59 p.m. on June 16, 2026.

Although restrictions are no longer in place, Highlands County Fire Rescue continues encouraging residents to use extreme caution outdoors due to ongoing dry conditions and elevated wildfire risk.

Recent rainfall has helped improve conditions, but vegetation and deeper soil layers may still remain dry in many areas.

Residents are encouraged to:
✔️ Use caution with outdoor burning
✔️ Keep water sources nearby
✔️ Avoid burning during windy conditions
✔️ Properly dispose of ci******es and smoking materials
✔️ Stay alert to changing weather conditions

We are pleased to announce that the shuffleboard roof replacement project successfully passed its final building inspection on June 15, 2026.

A reopening ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support throughout this project. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Friday.

Shoutout to Sebastian Villanueva and Jayshawn Pinion for going above and beyond! 👏

Last month, a resident called to share a heartwarming story. While getting ready to take his son to school, they stepped outside just as the garbage truck arrived. Sebastian and Jayshawn noticed the young boy watching the truck in amazement and learned that he has a special interest in garbage trucks.

The two took time out of their route to show him the truck, explain how it works, and make his day. 🚛✨ The boy was thrilled, and his father was so touched by their kindness that he became emotional while sharing the story.

Thank you, Sebastian and Jayshawn, for demonstrating outstanding customer service, compassion, and community spirit. Your actions made a lasting impression and are a wonderful example of what community service is all about! 👏😊
