-  One of the biggest annual events in Mount Dora takes place at the end of October.  Mount Dora Craft Fair was recently ranked #4 in the list of best craft fairs in the U.S. It's definitely worth a trip to downtown Mount Dora.   More info

​

-  Watch out for bicycles on city streets and backroads as Mount Dora Bicycle Festival comes to town the first weekend in October.   Cars should safely share the road by staying at least three feet from bikes.  Cyclists are required to obey the same traffic laws and street signs as cars.

​- We are sad to report the closing of 1884 Restaurant and Bar in downtown Eustis.  The large and historic space closed its doors near the end of September.  Stay tuned to Mount Dora Buzz on Facebook for an update of what business fills the space.  

- Fast food lovers have been tearful ever since Mount Dora's Chick-fil-A temporarily closed for renovations.  The end result should make  chicken lovers (and anyone that's been snarled in its traffic jams) very happy.  Read more

In September, a woman was trying to track down a mystery teen that helped her and impressed her with his kindness.  Mount Dora Buzz stepped up to help locate the impressive young man and this shout-out goes to him, the amazing Román Newkirk of Mount Dora High School.  This "good news" story is one of our very favorites because it inspires, promotes the best messages and is worth repeating.  Román not only made his mom proud, but also his community. Read more   If you know of someone's unsung and unexpected kindness, please email Mount Dora Buzz and tell us all about it.
