It is always fun to attend the Parade of Senior Services. The event was held at the Ewers Century Center at the College of Central Florida. Hundreds of seniors attended probably over 400. There were 41 vendors that were explaining their free services, some were county, city, services for seniors and some were venders in the health care industry. This was the 41st year. Watch for next year about this same time.

Lady Lake’s Junior Baseball Field at the Guava Street Athletic Complex was named in honor of Mike Spradlin, who has served Lady Lake Youth Baseball & Youth Softball (formerly Little League) for nearly 30 years. On Feb. 21, the Town Commission unanimously approved the naming for Spradlin, the League’s treasurer since its inception in 1995. Mike Spradlin has helped secure the League’s financial longevity and made sure there were always funds available for children who could not afford registration. His dedication has touched thousands of community children, and we are proud to offer this small but fitting tribute!
