Annual Candlelight Vigil Shines a Light on Overdose Victims

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with the Narcotics Overdose Prevention & Education of Pinellas, hosts an annual candlelight vigil that serves as a poignant reminder of those we’ve lost. The vigil is a meaningful event that brings the community together to remember and honor their loved ones who succumbed to drug overdoses. It’s an opportunity to reflect, grieve, and find solace in shared support.

 Fall Spirit at Local Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes

Photo Credit: travel boulder The season of pumpkins, corn mazes, and outdoor adventures is in full swing. With the pleasant fall temperatures outside, it’s the ideal time to embark on some autumn escapades. Recently, Tampa Bay had the pleasure of visiting two fantastic destinations to soak up the seasonal spirit. First, they explored the Fox Squirrel Corn Maze, captured in slides 1-5. This annual tradition, now in its 12th year, is a perfect weekend activity and runs through the first weekend of November. Next, they ventured to St. Martin Farms in Plant City, as seen in slides 6-7. This charming farm not only offers the thrill of corn mazes but also welcomes visitors with a delightful array of animals and fresh produce in their market.
