LADY LAKE — The Town of Lady Lake will host its first-ever Adult Easter Scavenger Hunt, “An Eggstraordinary Adventure,” on Saturday, April 12. The event will feature a competitive hunt across multiple locations, with participants collecting eggs and competing for high value prizes.
Tickets are $10 per person, and at least one team member must be over 18 years old. A valid driver’s license is required to participate. The deadline to purchase tickets is April 4 at either Lady Lake Town Hall or the Lady Lake Library.
The scavenger hunt will begin at 9 a.m. at Snooky Park, located at 120 W. Lady Lake Blvd. Teams of two will follow a series of clues leading them to several different locations within town where they will collect eggs containing small prizes. Each business along the route will also have one golden egg, which will qualify teams for top-tier prizes.
Prizes include a 75-inch television, a Bose speaker, a Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset, a drone with a camera, a Kodak Printomatic camera, and gift cards valued at up to $200. Participants must return to Snooky Park by 12:15 p.m., with a prize ceremony scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Teams that find a golden egg will receive a top prize, while all remaining participants will be entered into a drawing for a $250 gift card.
“This is a unique opportunity for the community to come together and experience an Easter event designed specifically for adults,” said Amy Alicea, events coordinator for the Town of Lady Lake. “We are excited to host this event for the first time and look forward to seeing teams compete for great prizes while exploring the town.”
The Town’s annual family Easter Eggstravanganza will take place at Snooky Park on the same date, April 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This beloved community event is expected to draw approximately 1,500 children for a fun-filled day of hunting eggs, games, prizes, food trucks, music, and Easter cheer.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced he is recommending pay increases for state law enforcement officers and firefighters in his Focus on Fiscal Responsibility Budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
“We support the men and women who keep our streets and communities safe,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Throughout my time in office, I have delivered on my promise to support law enforcement and first responders. Therefore, in the coming fiscal year, I am recommending a well-earned pay raise.”
The Governor’s Focus on Fiscal Responsibility Budget recommends $118.3 million in pay increases for more than 4,700 state sworn law enforcement officers and more than 730 state firefighters. This includes a:
- 20% pay increase for state entry level sworn law enforcement officers; and
- 25% pay increase for veteran sworn law enforcement officers and all state firefighters.
These pay increases will build on the support already delivered to support law enforcement and first responders. As a result of these initiatives, Florida continues to have record-low crime rates; continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family; and remains the friendliest state in the country for first responders.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida continues to be the top destination for travelers from all over the world as it welcomed a record-breaking 142.9 million visitors in 2024. This marks a 1.6% increase over 2023, the previous record annual visitation in the state’s history.
The fourth quarter of 2024 also set a new benchmark with 33.1 million visitors, surpassing the previous record for a Q4 period—setting the highest visitation for any fourth quarter. The record-breaking visitation was fueled by 29.9 million domestic visitors, 2.5 million overseas visitors, and 742,000 Canadian visitors.
“The results are clear—Florida is the best place to visit, live, and do business,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Another record-breaking year is proof that leadership matters, and the Free State of Florida is a model for the nation.” Continue reading
