Light Up Mount Dora returns the end of November

Light Up Mount Dora has undergone changes in recent years, and we'll have to wait and see what this year's event brings on Saturday, November 23. Stay updated with more details as they become available on Mount Dora Buzz's Facebook page.

New public art installed in Sunset Park

The entrance of downtown Mount Dora's Sunset Park now greets visitors with a cheerful mosaic created by local artist Diana Lucas with help from Juliet Davis of Yada Yada Pottery, and donated by a generous group of local women. Next time you're downtown, pop by Alexander Street and Fourth Avenue for a selfie.

Watch the Mount Dora Buzz website and Facebook page for updates on more stories.

New Vintage shop set to open in Mount Dora

A new retail shop, Cooper's Alley, is set to open on Donnelly Street in downtown Mount Dora in the quaint historic building that was recently occupied by St. Nick's Holiday Shoppe, and was previously home to The Painter's Daughter boutique. The new store will carry a curated mix of vintage and new home decor, as well as a selection of gifts.

Stitch & Gather closes downtown Mount Dora location

After a few years in downtown Mount Dora, Stitch & Gather, the fun customization and embroidery store, has closed its Fourth Avenue store. Instead of a brick-and-mortar location, the company will offer a convenient drop-box located just east of downtown at 436 E. Fifth Avenue.

Eastern Mount Dora continues to be plagued with severe odor

Even after a Florida Department of Environmental Protection consent order earlier this year, eastern Mount Dora continues to be plagued with a severe sewage-like odor. The alleged culprit is the City's water treatment facility. A study is wrapping up to determine whether further action is required by the City of Mount Dora to help alleviate the years-long environmental issue.

Election Day decision for Mount Dora voters
City of Mount Dora voters only have one seat on the ballot this year. In the race for mayor, residents will choose between former Mayor Cathy Hoechst and former Vice Mayor James Homich. Their biggest differences on issues are their positions on local overdevelopment, budgeting and municipal taxes. Hoechst has a Facebook page with more info and Homich has a website. Learn more about Homich here and learn more about Hoechst here. Election Day is November 5 and registered voters must go to their assigned precinct with valid photo identification in order to vote.
