So, I decided to go check things out in the community and take Oso with me.  He loves a good adventure, atleast I think he does. Fishing wasn't exa...

  It gives me goose bumps to think that on January 1st, 2010, it will be 50 years since the opening of Sun City.  The theme for the year is "An Extraordinary Past----A Brilliant Future".  The goal is to recognize the year 2010 as the 50th Anniversary.  Having said that there will be year long ev...
