They’re back!  Dinosaurs have once again invaded the lobby of  W.T. Bland Library in Mount Dora, but this time a T-Rex is among the prehistoric reptiles. 

Kids, as well as kids at heart, are invited to experience the museum-grade dinosaur replicas. crafted to scale by Planet Earth Sculptures, a Mount Dora-based company.  These lifelike models reflect the newest scientific theories that many dinosaurs had fur and feathers. The precise features of the reproductions were vetted by academics in the field, as well as museum curators.

“We are so pleased to be able to offer this exhibit to our patrons for the second year in a row,” said Library Manager Cathy Lunday.  “The fact that these models are all to-scale really lets your imagination soar and contemplate what their lives might have been like.”

Mount Dora is only a pitstop for these creatures, as the models are destined to be a traveling exhibit for participating museums.  Works from Planet Earth Sculpture are on display in the Smithsonian Institute and various natural history museums across the country.    

 The captivating dinosaur display can be viewed now through the end of February.  W.T. Bland Library is located at 1995 North Donnelly and is open Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  For more information, call  (352) 735-7180, option 5.

Vintage lovers and treasure hunters are getting giddy.  
 
Once again, Mount Dora will play host to Central Florida's massive and eclectic shopping experience on January 15, 16 and 17. 
​
Three times a year  Renningers Antique Center organizes the Antique Extravaganza, the motherlode of vintage and antique shopping, set in the rambling hills under majestic oaks.
 
Make no mistake.  There is antique shopping and then there is the “Extravo” shopping.  That’s the term seasoned buyers and “pickers” use for the event that boasts over 800 dealers during its three-day  run spread on a scenic portion of a 130-acre property.

Dealers from across the U.S. descend on Mount Dora to offer a tremendous variety of vintage finds and fine antiques at every price.   Eager collectors, decorators and vintage shoppers from across Florida show up in droves to uncover treasures and find the best deals. 
 
Extravos only happen the third Friday, Saturday and Sunday of November, January  and February.  Shoppers and the curious can roam the hills from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.   Friday admittance costs more, but eager shoppers get first dibs on hard-to-find treasures.  Sunday shoppers get better bargains, but some vendors do pack up early.
 
Parking is free.  Admission is $10 on Friday, $6 on Saturday, and only $4 on Sunday.  A three-day pass is $15.  Renninger’s Antique Center is located at 20651 US Hwy 441.  ​
