Well after reading the Ledger article by Bill Bair this morning, it ain’t so. Bill has the renovation work at $1,300,000… from the Ledger: (After $1.3 million worth of renovations, the Ramon Theater is coming back to life.

Watching the news and this came on I don’t know these people but I would be heartbroken if I where them so I figured I would share maybe they will get these guys before the new year.  They mentioned on the news that the horses where branded with Ws. Polk County Sheriff’s Agricultural Crimes deputies are seeking information about the theft of horses that occurred in Frostproof on December 12, 2007. Some time during the middle of the night, unknown suspect(s) cut a fence and entered the private property located at 155 Sand Pine Trail in Frostproof, removed three horses, loaded them onto a horse trailer, and fled undetected. All three horses are AQHA team penning/reining horses. One horse is a dark brown bay mare, 15 hands high, medium build, with a sock on her left rear foot, star and snip on her face.
