Fired up about new home East Manatee Fire Rescue District prepares to open new Station 2.

PAM EUBANKS SENIOR EDITOR

A

lthough East Manatee Fire Rescue District Chief Byron Teates began his career as a volunteer, he can’t really say he started on the bottom floor and worked his way up.

That’s because the building where he worked had no floor.

In the early 1980s, the district leased a pole barn on State Road 64, just west of Interstate 75.

“We were called the tin orphans,” said Teates, who is about to relinquish his duties to incoming Chief Lee Whitehurst.

Teates said that first building had no floor, just dirt.

Before Teates leaves his post, though, he probably is going to feel as though he has gone from the pole barn to the penthouse.

Late in November, Station 2 will reopen as the district’s newest facility. It is new construction that replaced the old Station 2, which was built at 803 60th St. Court E., Bradenton. The new 9,256-square-foot building was constructed on the same site, which is tucked behind businesses on the south side of State Road 64, across from the Super Wal-Mart. The old building was demolished earlier this year.

Like Teates, Whitehurst started

as a volunteer in the early 1980s.

He is pleased the new station has been built to handle growth.

“We designed this to staff two fire crews,” Whitehurst said. “We wanted to build it right the first time.”

Only one crew is needed at this time, but with the district’s location at the western boundary of the fire district, it is in prime position to service an aging community in its immediate area, along with growth in the State Road 64 corridor while helping to respond to traffic incidents on I-75 and other major roadways.

The rebuild also addressed other concerns the district had with the original building. It had been

renovated a few times, but each time under a different building code. It was not built to hurricane standards, so any firefighters at that facility would have to relocate during a serious storm.

The property was low-lying, so flooding was an issue during heavy rains.

All those concerns have been corrected in the new $3 million building, Whitehurst said.

The building is expected to receive its certificate of occupancy this week, so firefighters can return to the site within a few weeks. They’ve been at a temporary structure at Tom Bennett Park during construction.

Firemen are excited about the

change in venue.

“It’ll be nice, a welcome addition,” firefighter Jason Henderson said. “It’s laid out to be comfortable.”

Whitehurst said the district had considered building a new Station 2 on another site because it would have been cheaper than rebuilding. Ultimately, district officials determined its existing site was ideal for its service area.

Station 2 is one of six in the East Manatee Fire Rescue District, which services 100 square miles.

The district serves the area generally south of the Manatee River, north of University Parkway, east of Braden River and west of County Road 675.

The Mustangs finish in the top five for the sixth consecutive year.

Mustangs shoot for moon Precision and athleticism lead to more honors for Lakewood Ranch.

FLORIDA MARCHING BAND CHAMPIONSHIPS TOP FIVE FINISHERS (4-A) 1. Jupiter 2. Seminole 3. Lake Howell 4. Wiregrass Ranch 5. Lakewood Ranch

JAY HEATER MANAGING EDITOR

W

ith three quick steps and a mighty heave, a Lakewood Ranch High marching band member threw a tennis ball in the direction of Director Ron Lambert, who stood at the top of the football field’s press box.

Lambert reached out to catch the ball, which never arrived. It lost steam well before reaching its intended target, and crashed to the bleachers instead.

The 140 other marching band members, who were enjoying a practice break Nov. 11, offered a hearty laugh at the student’s inability to complete the throw.

“No problem,” Lambert said.

“You can play the oboe.”

It was the final tune up for the Florida Marching Band Championships, in which the Mustangs reached the finals for the sixth consecutive year and the 10th time in 12 years. Lakewood Ranch finished fifth overall Nov. 12 in the competition at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.

The Mustangs might not have the arm of Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester, but their athleticism and precision could not be denied in another captivating performance.

“What we do is athletic,” said Lambert, who is leading the bands of Lakewood Ranch High for the 14th year. “I would say our students are in as good of shape as any at the school.

“What you see on the field is like an iceberg. You just see the very tip, not what is under the water.”

The Mustangs performed a show titled “12 Seconds to the Moon,” which was inspired by the music of Robert Smith, the director of bands at Troy State University. It focused on the worldwide race into space.

“I’ve known him for years,” Lambert said of Smith. “He is one of the leading composers of

Of all the marching bands in Florida, only 13 advance to the state championships, with five earning the right to perform in the finals.

our time. When you are at the top of the (marching band) field, it’s a small world. I was able to collaborate and work with him.”

Lambert evaluates music and determines what best will fit his students.

“The music speaks to me,” he said. “Then I determine how I want the show to flow.”

He said the 2016 version of his marching band has a tremendous clarinet section, and “12 Seconds to the Moon” is demanding when it comes to that section.

He chose the music in April, then collaborated with other artists to bring it all together.

The students had to embrace the project, which meant countless hours of work.

Michael McAfee, a senior who plays percussion, said the marching band has been one of the most challenging experiences of his high school life.

“It is an incredible amount of work,” he said. “For me, it is about hitting the mallet in the right key.

If I miss, the whole show can be off. It is an incredible amount of pressure.”

Senior drummer Nate Russell agreed about the pressure. “You can’t have a weak link,” he said.

“As a drummer, you are keeping the tempo. Working at it takes up a lot of your time.

“But it also creates friendships and bonds.”

Senior guitarist Kevin Mendel said the finished product takes a special amount of physical and mental preparation and teaches time management skills.

“It requires over 100 high schoolers to have a level of maturity that is unheard of,” he said. “If one person is off, it throws off the whole show.”

Lambert told his band members not to worry about judges, but to play their hearts out for the audience.

“We covered 100 years of history in nine minutes,” he said.

“This was all about practice and learning and failure. We had our rough days.

“But I am so proud of them.”

A rendering of how the CORE project will take shape. SMR is expected to announce a new tenant before the end of the year.

Opportunities for Research and Exploration (CORE) project.

Preliminary site plans submitted to Manatee County show a request for 97,350 square feet of commercial and 4,300 square feet of office space. The 101,650-square-foot complex will include parking, new roadways and other infrastructure to accommodate the facilities.

The plaza will be anchored by two undisclosed tenants and has seven lots for stand-alone businesses.

GOING ‘GREENE’ AT LAKEWOOD RANCH The 42-acre parcel is located at the northeast corner of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard and State Road 70 East. Developers have submitted plans for about half the property. They show spaces for two large commercial tenants and about seven smaller out parcels, likely for restaurants and other retail developments.

In November 2015, Lakewood Ranch developer SchroederManatee Ranch announced its vision for a biotech business campus, CORE. The idea was to create a worldclass research campus environment and tap into the life sciences and medical research sectors of the economy. The project also would include retail, office, hotel and conference space and housing to support the project and community.

“We went through a period of defining a plan, and we’ve been spending the last four or five months networking and marketing, and just working with people who could bring the types of projects we want, whether it’s education or life science,” said Kirk Boylston, president of SMR subsidiary Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty.

“This project is one of the nonlife sciences pieces that we had identified in the master plan, and it’s going in the location we intended,” Boylston said. “It’s an amenity piece that will provide retail, restaurant and other commercial uses.”

Boylston declined to provide many specifics, because the property is under contract, but said its facilities and tenants will be in keeping with the theme, look and feel of the overall CORE project.

“We believe the developer will deliver the product type and quality that is what we’re looking for and they typically build,” he said.

The preliminary site plan indicates there will be multifamily housing developed between the northern boundary of the commercial project and Rangeland Parkway, as well.

Department Director John Barnott said the county will review each component within the development application, including traffic, to ensure the project still complies with county requirements.

Ricardo Ruiz del Vizo and Brett Kaplan of Optimus Commercial Real Estate Investment Advisors of KW Island Life represented the

Kaplan-Bennett partnership in the deal. Kaplan and Bennett had hoped to develop portions of the property when they bought it in 2005 for $3 million. That project never came to fruition, and they put the site up for sale in 2008.

They took it off the market a short time later, when they thought the bids they had gotten for the property were too low. They put it back on the market in 2013.

The new owners of Linger Lodge & Campground say they will upgrade to a state-of-the-art RV park.

A true piece of “Old Florida,” the Linger Lodge & Campground in eastern Manatee County, has a new owner.

An Austrian real estate group under the name River Loft LLC announced Nov. 11 it had acquired The Linger Lodge RV LLC and the Linger Lodge Restaurant LLC. River Loft bought the property, a restaurant and RV park along the Braden River that dates back to the 1940s, from area real estate developer Marvin Kaplan and former Bradenton State Sen. Mike Bennett, now Manatee County supervisor of elections.

River Loft paid just less than $5 million for the RV side and the restaurant side, according to Rudi Weiss, an agent with Charity & Weiss International Realty which represented the seller. The property totals about 30 acres.

The Linger Lodge, which has a menu that includes gator nuggets and frog’s legs, is well known in Manatee County for both its exotic menu and kitschy decorations, with several travel publications and blogs calling the spot one of the weirdest in Florida. It even grabbed a spot once on the Food Network’s “Al Roker’s Weird Restaurants” TV Show.

Suit up for Santa

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

Mall at UTC unveils interactive Santa experience for children.

WHAT IS IT?

Santa’s Flight Academy is an interactive experience for which children receive flight academy badges, put on a virtual flight suit, help save Santa’s sleigh during a simulated flight, dance in the snow and then see Santa (photos for a cost).

PAM EUBANKS SENIOR EDITOR

S

ummerfield 2-year-old Alexander Stark pranced around a pile of pulverized rice Nov. 11 at the Mall at University Town Center.

Although it was, indeed, rice, he had a wonderful smile on his face. It was the wonderful world of fantasy.

Stark was enjoying Santa’s Flight Academy, an interactive experience during which children meet elves, receive badges, try a simulated flight, help Santa navigate a disaster and dance in the snow. Of course, the snow is actually the pulverized rice.

No matter, many of the children who enjoy the exhibit never have seen snow.

“Neither have I,” said Alexander’s mom, Jackie, a Florida native. “My husband’s from Alaska. He’s seen enough for all of us.”

A teacher at Gullett Elementary, Jackie Stark brought her son to the Mall at UTC on Veterans Day, when schools were closed.

“It’s a lot more exciting this year,” she said of display. “It’s more spaced out. He likes to push the buttons and the levers.”

Mall officials unveiled the new interactive holiday display — one of only 12 across the country — to the public Nov. 11. Mall co-owner and operator Taubman Centers spent about a year rolling out the project.

Kim Dominguez, marketing and sponsorship director for the Mall at UTC, said Santa’s Flight Academy is meant to create memories.

“We wanted to make it more interactive and immersive,” Dominguez said. “We believe the experience is so unique, it will draw an enormous amount of visitors.”

Fit2Run manager Judi Knowles said she believes that will be the case, as well. She was standing by the display when a bus full of children arrived.

“It looked like they were really enjoying themselves,” Knowles said, adding it’ll be good for business. “The atmosphere and the experience they get will be really wholesome. The magic of the holidays, right?”

Teaching art in school still a stroke of genius

and Commissioner Vanessa Baugh, and tried to pick the best out of five finalists from each grade, kindergarten through fifth. Each drawing carried the same theme, where the home actually was a castle.

Tara’s school nickname is the “Knights.”

All the drawings had cool

towers, and arches and stone walkways. They all were pretty good, or way, way better than I could have done. How could I separate them?

Oh gosh, I needed some help. I looked over at Pat Knowlton, the art teacher at Tara for the past 15 years. She came over and started to talk with me about art, but she

depth. Second- and third-graders used oil pastels.

The mind handles the heavy lifting. One student added a bright sun to his drawing, another put vines that wrapped around his castle, another had a half moon.

We eventually tallied points and named the winners of the contest. Reef McMaster won the kindergarten division, Zoe Ogden took first grade, Samantha Pisani was best in second, Lillian Boderhorn was tops in third, Tien Thai prevailed in fourth and Jack Karam ruled fifth.

“Each student learned how to do some creative problem solving,” Knowlton said.

Even the students who didn’t make the finals benefited from the process because they had to put down their cell phone to do it.

I suddenly became a big fan of art in schools.

Bring on Bambi.

wasn’t about to take sides.

Instead, we chatted about the importance of art in today’s instant-gratification society.

“To sit and do art takes time,” Knowlton said.

So is that a good thing?

“This is a touchscreen world,” Knowlton said. “Our students need more help to develop their fine motor skills.”

Rembrandt had to perfect his stroke with a paint brush. Today, even I could create a masterpiece with the stroke of a keyboard. Magnificent sunset as interpreted by Apple.

Knowlton teaches her students to feel connected to their art. One student differs from another simply by the amount of pressure they apply to a crayon, or a paintbrush. Their individuality comes out in so many different ways, whether that means adding to a project with Scotch Tape or paper clips or chalk.

In this particular contest, the fifth-grade students learned about lights and shadow and how to create a three-dimensional effect with watercolors.

Fourth-graders used congruent angles to create the illusion of

s a kid, I remember being attracted to those TV Guide advertisements, asking you to draw a turtle, or a pirate or Bambi.

Then you would send the drawing to an art school to see if you had any talent. Of course, you might as well have been drawing a picture of your wallet.

I sent my drawing anyway, and I received my answer in the mail.

I had what it takes. I thought that was strange since my Bambi looked more like a hairy cow.

The Grinch summed it up best. As an artist, I “stink, stank, stunk.”

Truth be told, even now, I need a ruler to draw stick men.

If schools around the nation dropped art class, I wouldn’t blink. If you want better education, teach a kid how to paint a house.

That’s the way I felt.

Until now.

Tara Elementary School reached out and asked me to be a judge at its “My Favorite Home” art contest. The Nov. 9 event was sponsored by Neal Communities for the 17th consecutive year.

Perhaps they didn’t know I failed my finger painting class.

No matter, I can look at art with the best of them.

So I stood alongside other judges, such as Manatee Schools Superintendent Diana Greene

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED 7300 block of 52nd Place East, Bradenton Shoplifting: A loss prevention officer at a department store contacted the Sheriff’s Office because a male had been observed stealing items for the third time in a week. On the first occasion, he entered the store and removed approximately $350 in clothing without paying. Five days later he removed an unknown amount of clothing without paying. Two days later, he removed another $85 in clothing. The man was described as thin, approximately 5-foot10 and approximately 25 to 30 years old. The store was unable to make copies of its surveillance tape.

INVESTIGATION WAS A SNAP Corner of Braden Run and State Road 70, Bradenton Information only: A Sheriff’s deputy came upon a disabled vehicle and began to investigate.

Since the vehicle was a traffic hazard, blocking a turn lane, the deputy called for a tow. The

deputy began to search the abandoned vehicle to document the property inside along with any visible damage, but when he lifted the driver’s side door handle, it broke off. The rest of the car also was in poor condition.

Before the tow truck came to the scene, another tow truck arrived, so obviously the owner still wanted the vehicle. The deputy canceled the other wrecker.

NOV. 8

HERE’S YOUR SIGN 1012 57th Street East, Bradenton Information only: Campaigning outside a church, a candidate called the Sheriff’s Office because he felt threatened by a man standing directly behind him, waving a sign in opposition. Deputies explained the man holding the sign wasn’t doing anything wrong by exercising his freedom of speech, but they asked the man to keep some distance from the candidate since he felt threatened. The man said he wasn’t doing anything wrong, but did keep his distance.

Check out her crib Natural parenting philosophy gives birth to new business.

BERKLEY MASON STAFF WRITER

It wasn’t hard for Lakewood Ranch’s Keri Rowe to do the research before opening her new business, Crunchy Mama Granola Baby Boutique.

She only had to look around her own home.

Along with her husband, Nicholas, she is raising three daughters, Audrey, 7, Chloe, 5, and Gracie, 2. She gave birth to all three at home with the help of a midwife, and she preaches healthy, natural parenting.

She wanted her store to demonstrate her values.

Rowe held a grand opening Nov. 12 for Crunchy Mama Granola Baby Boutique, located at 6283 Lake Osprey Drive in Lakewood Ranch.

“I’m most excited about just being able to help moms in our community,” Rowe said. “We have such a great community, as far as natural parenting, in Bradenton and Sarasota.”

The boutique carries all-natural baby products, ranging from toothpaste to diapers. All of the clothes she sells will be gender neutral and organic.

“Most of the stuff in here I’ve used with my own kids,” Rowe said.

Rowe puts a lot of thought into

choosing products.

Her mother, Kathy Lubelan, went with her to Las Vegas to explore one of the largest organic baby shows in the country. Lubelan saw her daughter carefully examine each product.

“This has been such a dream of hers,” Lubelan said. “She’s going to be so great at it. She loves this community, and I know her store will be an asset to the community’s babies. She has worked so hard.”

Rowe said her boutique fits the lifestyle in Lakewood Ranch. “It’s a much more natural mindset and more family oriented,” she said of the area.

Besides her baby experience, Rowe also has business experience. She and her husband are co-owners of the Rowe Family Chiropractic Center. She plans on integrating her medical knowledge into her baby boutique.

“At our practice, I get to see moms and babies a lot,” Rowe said. “I work with birth centers and adjust pregnant women before and during labor. It helps the baby get in the right position, and it’s also much healthier.”

Not only does Rowe plan on selling chiropractic-friendly baby items at her new boutique, she plans on providing resources to educate her customers on how to immerse healthy parenting into their lives.

“We’ll be having classes here to promote breast feeding and carseat safety,” Rowe said. “We’ll have an instructor here to answer any questions parents may have.”

t's a special, choreographed celebration used only when one of them scores a touchdown.

At the height of the maneuver, the hands of Braden River running backs Raymond Thomas and Deshaun Fenwick meet at the zenith of a move resembling a basketball dunk.

Thomas designed the “handshake” during his team's 35-0 win over Palmetto. It quickly caught on.

“I don’t know where I got it from,” Thomas said. “I just thought of it.”

It's just a small sign of their camaraderie on a team where they must split of wealth of carries.

Sharing carries can lead to drama on some high school teams, but not this one.

Thomas and Fenwick said they do not even think about their number of carries during a game.

Their styles are different, yet equally effective. They know the Pirates need them both.

Fenwick is the boom. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 208 pounds, he’s able to manhandle smaller defenders and take his yards by force. He loves bowling over defenders, even though offensive coordinator Eric Sanders tells him to use his stiff arm.

Thomas is the burst. A smaller

back at 5-foot-7, 170 pounds, he’s prone to hitting the hole with the speed to run through arm tackles. He did not lose any juice after tearing his ACL in October 2015 while making a block against Palmetto. Once in the second level of the defense, Thomas shows off his ability to shake, leaving cornerbacks and safeties hugging air.

“He (Thomas) just likes to embarrass people,” Fenwick said, making Thomas laugh.

They both caused embarrassment for defenders in Braden River’s Sept. 9 game against Ida S. Baker. The Pirates were up 42-0 at halftime, and won 42-14. Fenwick had six carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, plus a 65-yard touchdown catch. Thomas had 14 carries for 191 yards and two touchdowns. It was utter domination.

“They can do everything well,” Sanders said. “They can go inside and outside. They can catch the ball. They are both willing and effective blockers. I can’t design enough plays for them, honestly.”

Sanders and head coach Curt Bradley both have complete trust in both. They allow Thomas and Fenwick to decide between themselves where each player lines up on a given play. One will head to the backfield next to senior quarterback Louis Colosimo. The other will stand in the slot. The only times they leave the field on offense are when they are winded and during blowouts.

Sometimes, one of the backs will like a play more than the other, and that determines who gets the ball. The rest of the time, in true high school fashion, they play rock-paper-scissors for it.

That a game usually reserved for trivial matters is determining who gets the ball on a team that reached the Class 7A state championship game last season and has higher aspirations this year fits perfectly in line with the running backs’ personalities, laid-back and a little goofy.

PROSE AND KOHNS

RYAN KOHN

Premier Sports big winner in Showcase

T

Ryan Kohn

Carter Zilleckis, 14, of the Lakewood Ranch Chargers U16 team, tosses the ball into play.

he tops of tents were visible on the horizon, as a player from a Miamibased youth soccer team bounced a ball from one knee to the other, mesmerized.

Not far away, a coach was giving an animated speech in Spanish while his kneeling players chewed on protein bars.

While those players prepared for their games, parents crowded around an assembly line of fields, some shouting complaints at the officials.

It was the scene during the first European Showcase by Luis Figo, which took place Nov. 11 through Nov. 13 at Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch.

The tournament packed 140 teams into the three-day format.

They came from all over Florida and beyond, including Argentina and Venezuela. The main draw was Figo, the 2001 FIFA World Player of the Year and winner of the Ballon d’Or at the 2000 World Cup. Despite playing before most of the tournament’s competitors were born, many of the players said they were familiar with Figo and his accomplishments.

The goal of the tournament is to provide exposure for the players and to promote the game.

Antonio Saviano, director of sports at Premier Sports Campus, said hosting a tournament with Figo’s backing was a “dream come true.” He said the

140 teams were incredible for the first year of the event. The plan is to expand the scope of the event each successive year.

Is it a sign Lakewood Ranch has burst on the scene as one of the nation’s hotspots when it comes to competitive youth soccer? It just might be.

Manatee County Commissioner Vanessa Baugh said the event will help turn Lakewood Ranch into a chief destination for those involved in the sport. It could present an economic boon.

Rob Ferguson, director of sales for Holiday Inn Lakewood Ranch, said about 2,200 hotelroom nights were generated by the showcase — higher than Ferguson was expecting.

It’s not rocket science what happens next. The more soccer events the community hosts, and the bigger the events get, the more people will travel to Lakewood Ranch and spend money.

Besides bringing money and exposure to a growing community, the tournament is expected to have a huge impact on the kids participating. Soccer is a beautiful game, and a growing one. At a time when sports like youth football and baseball are on the decline in America, soccer is picking up. Events like Figo’s showcase might create an opportunity for an East County player to showcase her talent on an international. That might just open the flood gates.

Carter Zilleckis, a 14-year-

old playing on the Lakewood Ranch Chargers U16 team, said he learned a lot from watching the players who were on hand.

He said he picked up tips on onthe-field communication.

“I feel like I have to be better now,” Zilleckis said.

Unfortunately, the Chargers were one of the only local clubs playing in the event, along with teams from IMG Academy. However, it’s just a starting point.

Baugh said the event will feature more teams from Lakewood Ranch next year, as word of the tournament’s success reaches the ears of local parents.

And you can bet the parents of players not from the area will spread stories of Premier Sports Campus, and about the local area’s restaurants and touristfriendly amenities. Juan Iturria, the coach of a team from Argentina, said this was the first time any of his players had been to the United States and that they were thrilled by the Lakewood Ranch area.

“It’s been a pleasure being here for the tournament,” Iturria said.

The metaphorical soccer map now features a pin at Lakewood Ranch.

Sanders called Thomas a “silent leader” on the team. Fenwick is more vocal on the sidelines. Both have earned the utmost respect from teammates, Sanders said.

Bradley described both running backs as being incredible kids who are selfless and concerned about the team first, themselves second.

The head coach also praised their high football IQ, which is what makes them so trustworthy on the field.

Throughout all of the fun they have playing football, they never lose sight of their main focus.

“We’re motivated to win states, that’s it,” Fenwick said. “The only thing that counts is how many points we’re up by.”

The Lakewood Ranch boys basketball team is hosting a preseason tournament. The Mustangs will play Clearwater Central Catholic 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 17 and Wiregrass Ranch 4 p.m. on Nov. 19. The Mustangs lost in the Class 7A Region 3 final to St. Petersburg last season, but graduated just one player. This year’s squad should be even better, with senior guard Sam Hester and junior guard Damien Gordon leading the way.

The much-anticipated football rematch between Braden River and Venice is here.

The Pirates fell to the Indians 42-35 on Oct. 14. Now, senior quarterback Louis Colosimo and his teammates have a chance for redemption in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs. To do that, they’ll need to stop senior Venice running back Matthew “Speedy” Laroche, who ran for 325 yards and five touchdowns.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.

A SLICE OF

ITALY Festa Italiana offers chance to experience Italian life.

O

nce again, Lakewood Ranch residents and those from the surrounding area were treated to a virtual trip to Italy.

Festa Italiana, sponsored

by Lakewood Ranch Community Activities, was held Nov. 12 for those yearning for a touch of Italian culture without leaving the state.

“Today is a fun day to stay local, we can just walk over to it,” said Lakewood Ranch’s Nicole Bentze.

“This is our third year coming out for Festa Italiana.

My daughter loves to get her face painted, and it’s a great opportunity for the community to come together.”

The sixth annual festival was held at Greenbrook Adventure Park. The hundreds who attended celebrated with Italian food and wines along with live music and children’s activities.

“We changed a lot of things,” said Ed Tulski, a board member for Festa Italiana. “We try to create a little more interest in not repeating ourselves all the time.”

The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch presented the Suncoast Food and Wine Fest, enticing the crowd Nov. 12 with more than 300 American and international wines along with craft beer and food from 40 local restaurants.

“This is our third year coming, and we love it — it’s so much fun,” said Sarasota’s Brian Craft.

“It’s a staple of the year where we can all come together and taste Sarasota. It’s also a great opportunity to try different local restaurants and mingle with people.”

The festival was held on the grounds of the Sarasota Polo Club.

Also at the event was a silent auction, live music, cooking demonstrations and, of course, many conversations about wine.
