    However, he was wearing armor of sorts and doing his best to make sure no four-alarm fires would break out.
    The stallion he rode in upon wasn’t white, instead cherry red with lights and sirens.

  • The conversation echoed throughout the main room at River River Club and the dinner was succulent Saturday night as the Dunnellon Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual awards dinner, the “Valentine Stars of Dunnellon.”

  • Three Dog Night once crooned, “One is the loneliest (number).”
    Scripture states, two is better than one.
    Jeri Gibbs and Martha Vaughn, two area florists, couldn’t agree more.

  • Hungry? Round up the gang and mosey over to the Double D Grill.
    Dunnellon’s newest eatery opened its doors Nov. 1 at 20199 E. Pennsylvania Ave.

    The facility features trap, skeet, five-stand and Fitask shooting.
