Bill Dreggors Park in DeLand is a great place to play and exercise.

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:04:59 +0000

You can drive by Bill Dreggors Park morning, noon or night and you will witness people walking and running on the concrete walking path that circles the park.

I have spent many an evening walking around this park and calculate the distance to be ½ mile +/-.

It is a great way for area residents to exercise without having to join a local gym.

The Park is named after a local historian and is located just north of New York at the corner of Stone and Wisconsin Streets.

The park offers many other features for young and old including a butterfly park, shelter houses and a childrens playground area.

There are also several Park and Recreational buildings at the Park. It is at one of these buildings where local residents go to cast their votes during election season.

The Bill Dreggors Park is just one of many reasons why those who live in DeLand, love and treasure it so.

Fireworks and anticipation bring in the New Year in DeLand

admin — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:40:54 +0000

Happy New Year! Last night I welcomed the New Year with my granddaughters. To be honest my young ladies actually made it to 9pm. Just before bed the girls enjoyed chocolate cake and we went outside and lit sparklers for the girls to play with. Last night will be remembered as one of the best New Years eve celebrations I have enjoyed. Sounds of bottle rockets and firecrackers could be heard throughout the neighborhood as everyone excitedly anticipated the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010.

Happy new Year DeLand!

It was all about chili in DeLand this weekend

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:33:02 +0000

I spent part of Saturday enjoying the DeLand chili cook-off. For $10 I was able to sample some of the best and worst chili this side of the St. Johns. I could not pick a winner from the dozen or so samples but did leave the event full. The chili cook-off is another reason DeLand is a great place to call home.

When is the 2009 Volusia County Fair?

admin — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:01:23 +0000

This year I plan on attending the Volusia County Fair. The fairgrounds is in DeLand just east of the city. I checked on the dates for the fair this year and discovered the fair will be held on November 5th -15th.

Being from midwest attending the county fair was an every year event. Cotton candy, games, pinapple whip ice cream and harness racing were a big part of the fair I attended in my home town. I am looking for re-starting the tradition of attending a county fair.

Here is the Volusia County Fair website.

On Saturday I visited the DeLand craft show

admin — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:59:11 +0000

On Saturday I visited the DeLand craft show held downtown. As you can see from the pictures the streets were lined with booths that featured crafts.

There were leather items, rings, you could even pan for stones. I stopped to talk to the guys from Corn Craft who were selling custom designed corn hole sets. They also had the game set up and were offering $1000 to anyone who could make 5 out of 5 tosses. I am not very good at tossing the little bags so I passed.

I also visited the Sands Theater Center booth. I picked up one of their flyers. The Sands has some big names coming to town including, Bo Bice, Little River Band and The Letterman.

All in all it was a good day at the craft festival. It was a little warm and my feet started aching so I did not stay as long as I would have liked. Little events like this are what make DeLand a nice place to call home.
