Entertainment, Events & Travel-by Emily Will

    The holiday season is gaining momentum here at Citrus Hills, and with it brings our most spectacular season of social activities yet!
   I’m very excited to announce a new event that we’re featuring next month: our inaugural Holiday in the Hills Golf Cart Parade and Benefit Banquet on Sunday, December 16th. This is your chance to show off your creativity by decorating your cart for a chance to win in the categories of Wacky Tacky, Florida Theme, and Most Original. We’ll award $50 restaurant certificates for each category winner, in addition to the best overall-cart grand prize of $100 and the title of Grand Marshall for next year’s parade!
The best part about this event is that a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Citrus County Blessings program — otherwise known as Blessings in a Backpack. This 501(c)(3) non-profit was founded in 1999 and operates a hunger relief program through 25 local schools in Citrus County, and provides food during the summer months and over weekends to local children in need.
