Events In South Florida | Gambling Yes indeed we live in an area that is populated by many Indian reservations. I could go on about how their homesteads were invaded all those years ago but trust me; it is best if I steer clear of that topic!

Valentine's Day 2016 Fort Lauderdale Yes indeed, it is that time of year again. The romance of Valentine's Day is in the air once. Last year I detailed the history of this day of roses, chocolates and canoodles in a blog post. This year, fresh and new I am going to review the hot spots to hit on this area event. Why not head west and listen to the Singing Valentines and the South Florida Jubilee Chorus in Plantation. Details for this area event can be found here.

Events In Hollywood The art of glassblowing is traditionally not associated within the shores of South Florida. One is more likely to view a skilled craftsman performing his art in the ancient cities of Venice and Milan. Ah alas, this centuries old technique can be found just down the road from Fort Lauderdale. This craft is one of the topics of my discussion this week’s events in Hollywood. On most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays evenings between the hours of 7 pm and 10 pm there is a free glassblowing demonstration at a studio in the Visual Arts Pavilion. This studio is located in the heart of Hollywood, at Youngs Circle, in the ArtsPark. I would suggest confirming the times and dates of this event in Hollywood by contacting 954.732.7231.

I have a confession. I am mesmerized by the art of the dance. Wherever and whenever  I can get my fix of the graceful art of a body in motion, otherwise known as dancingI will travel. Be it on the television or the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, Florida I am there. There is a must attend event in Hollywood this weekend, The Move On Live Tour. This event features the infamous choreographer duo of Julianne Hough and her brother, Derek. Most will recognize this brother and sister act from the television series, Dancing With The Stairs. Many “could” say I am a groupie.This is fine, I just recognize talent. The Move On Live Tour returns for its second year to the Hard Rock Cafe his Friday evening, June 28, 2015. The hotel is located at 5747 Seminole Way, off of US 411 between Griffin and Stirling Roads in Hollywood. There is one performance, held in the 5,500 seat arena commences at 8 pm.

As I continually boost, we are lucky to live here in the sunshine state. Sure our weather is fabulous, the people friendly and the food divine but today I am going to rattle on about our location. In particular, our proximity to the Caribbean Islands. There is an event in Hollywood you must attend. I will explain in a few moments. Did you know that Jamaica is a mere 560 miles to our south? The Bahamas a skip and a jump at 181 miles due southeast. To visit the island of Trinidad one only has to travel four hours by plane. Pretty close right? Think of all the cultural differences, the food, the flair, the music and the lifestyle that is very diverse from ours. Simply Magnifique! The sad part of visiting these exotic places is the time it takes to travel to your final destination. The initial journey begins with the car ride to the airport, the parking of your car, flights, hotels and this is all before you eat and have a long cool drink. Not only is it time-consuming, but it can get costly.
