The weather was favorable for the first day of the Brooksville Raid Civil War Reenactment. Thousands of spectators came to the Sand Hill Scout Reservation in Brooksville to walk through the soldier camps, check out the civil war merchandise in the Sutler tents before settling down to watch the battle unfold on the field.  If you missed the action today, you can still attend day 2 of the reenactments tomorrow, please click here for times and information or go to www.BrooksvilleRaid.com.

Mark your calendars for the 38th annual civil war reenactment of the Brooksville Raid coming in January 2018. Reenactors from all across the country will once again come to the Sand Hill Scout Reservation in Brooksville for a two day event.  There will be food, music, demonstrations, pony rides for the kids and more.   Each day, there will be a battle reenactment in the afternoon. Spectator crowds typically gather hours before to get a good viewing spot, chair rentals are available.  Before and after the battle, visitors can take a walk through the camps for a glimpse of what it life was like in a soldier's camp. And if you enjoy shopping, the sutler tents - tradespeople of the time - offer anything the heart desired during the civil war period. 2018 Brooksville Raid Civil War Reenactme...

A great time was had by all who attended the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in Brooksville Florida last night. It was an enthusiastic crowd that cheered all the way through the countdown and the lighting of the tree that sits in front of the historic Hernando County Courthouse.   The lighting ceremony was followed by an entertainment program with singers and performers of various community organizations. Of course, Santa and Mrs. Clause also made their appearance to the delight of children big and small! People gathered on Main Street for an old fashioned community holiday street party complete with numerous street vendors.  Restaurants and shops around Main Street were open showing off their decorations for the holidays.

On a recent visit to City Hall in Brooksville, Florida, I was delighted to discover this little free library. Not a library in traditional sense, it works as a book exchange between people who like to share their books. The idea is to take a book and leave a book or take a book, read it and return it. Or if you so desire, just leave a book for others to enjoy. The day I was there, the little library was well stocked, when I came by again a couple of weeks later, there were a lot less books available so it's good to know that people are taking advantage of this little exchange. It would be nice to see more of these little libraries pop up in neighborhoods or public places for people to enjoy a good read.  Little free library in Brooksville, Florida  If you or someone you know are interes...

Strange Encounters while Viewing Homes...   or maybe I should entitle it "What not to do when staging your home for sale" but since I am a Realtor and not a home stager, I will leave that headline to use by the professionals.  Have you had any weird encounters while showing houses or if you are a buyer, have you encountered some things while viewing homes that left you wondering?  My buyer and I had one today and we were not too sure what it all means.  We were looking at a vintage home for sale in Brooksville, Florida that had been built 115 years ago. No telling, what those walls had seen and heard over the years!  As we were walking through the rooms, floor boards squeaking under our steps, we came upon a single black (albeit plastic) rose placed in the middle of the floor in one of ...

Million Dollar Listings Hernando County, FloridaYou may be familiar with the real estate reality show "Million Dollar Listing" that airs on HGTV for three locations, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York.  The properties showcased in these shows typically exceed the one Million Dollar price so I thought it would be fun to see what is currently available in our area for one Million Dollar and up.  Hernando County, Florida, is located just north of Tampa on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The area has a semi-rural character but also includes highly populated areas with many upscale communities as well as the beautiful waterfront communities of Weeki Wachee, Pine Island, and Hernando Beach.  Million Dollar Listings in Hernando County, FloridaCurrently, in Hernando County, Florida, there are five pro...
