This year’s Craft Fair had a profit of more than $6,000. Thank you to Charm City and another big thank you to the many bakers and volunteers. We had more than 900 people attend the Craft Fair. It is due to the generosity of you, our Lake Ashton neighbors that helped make this event a success. Many of you donated your time to make some very, very tasty sweets. The LAVA Auxiliary once again helped in the kitchen and at the bake d goods display, selling raffle tickets and so much more. The 2025 Craft Fair will be on October 25. This year’s Craft Fair had the vendor spaces sold out months before. We have already received 13 applications for next year. If you would like to be a vendor for the 2025 Craft Fair, you may pick up the application packet at the Clubhouse Activities Desk. God Bless America!

It will be in Lakeland on the first weekend in March and will consist of 14 events, with medals awarded by gender and by 5-year age groups, to the top 3 in each event. Our swim club has had medalists and state championship qualifiers every year for the past 6 years. All the participants started out as fitness swimmers and have used competition as motivation to stay involved and stay fit. The local and regional meets also serve as a qualifier for the Florida State Senior Games Championships. The top 5 in each event qualify. The Swim Club has organized workouts at the HFC on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1 pm, plus Saturdays at 10 am, for fitness swimmers and competition swimmers.
