They are the bras that Victoria wouldn’t be able to keep secret. They are bras with flair, spunk and bright colors that would turn anyone’s head.
On August 14th at the Wildwood Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, the decorated bras that are part of the nationally-known “Artful-Bra Tour” will be on display for all to see and marvel at.
The tour comes to Wildwood courtesy of the successful bid by the Wildwood Women’s Club after the GFWC/Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs chose the tour as one of their projects this year.
Although the 30-40 decorated bras range from humorous (the feathery Hooters Bra) to unique (“Prom”enade Bra) to touching (M&M Bra in memory of a seven-year-old diagnosed with breast cancer), the message of the tour is to promote awareness of breast cancer and care for our bodies. Read Full Entry

You may think by the way Ron Holiday gushes about his kids that he is the proud father or grandfather of the children he speaks of.
Yet the “kids” he talks about of are those that he has taught ballet to for years at several local dance studios as well as privately in and around Lake County.
“My students are achieving at 13 and 14 what [my late wife] Joy and I achieved in our early twenties. They are more focused as it is what they want,” he says. Read Full Entry
