Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa
The NFL season is winding down, and our hometown Bucs have put themselves on the bubble by losing to the Cowboys last Sunday in Primetime. Atlanta has taken over the lead in the NFC South and we need to win the last two games to have a shot at the division. The Panthers have struggled all season, but they are certainly not to be overlooked. They have shown some gutsy play of late and are very dangerous. Here’s a chance to support our Bucs and help them do what needs to be done! There’s really nothing like being at a game!
Sunday, December 29th @1pm

Chanukah at the Beach
Gulf Blvd, Treasure Island
Come to the beach this Sunday for another fun Chanukah celebration on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico! You can’t have too many latkes (they’re delicious!) or dreidel spins, if you ask me, so come on out and celebrate culture, history, friends, family, and community. The holidays are so rich in cultural diversity and world history. All are welcome to share and to learn.
