Citrus County, FL

Crystal River, FL

Citrus County has been home to some colorful characters, but perhaps none so eccentric as Mayor William S. Alyea of Crystal River. According to newspaper reporter Hampton Dunn, Alyea grew up in the rough-and-tumble Old West and had a reputation as someone who could deal with the rougher elements in society. He was well into his 80s when Alyea was elected Mayor of Crystal River. One evening he came across a local constable having difficulty trying to control a group of drunken men. In spite of his age, the Mayor didn’t hesitate and jumped into the fray to help subdue the rowdy bunch. Alyea released a torrent of curse words to emphasize that he meant business. Order was quickly restored. Or was it?

For several weeks, the right of way along U.S. 19 north from State Road 44 has been torn up. Given the amount of road work going on near there, most drivers would naturally assume that that section of U.S. 19 is being widened.

Inverness pulled off a successful St. Patrick’s Day Parade with a little quick thinking from city officials and a little luck of the Irish Sunday. One of the many floats in the St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday afternoon features a special appearance of the famous Sunny Cooter in downtown Inverness. The parade was originally scheduled for Saturday but city officials quickly changed the date to Sunday to accommodate the weather forecast. After the parade, there were more festivities, including live music in the city's entertainment district. The entertainment district will also remain active downtown. The entertainment district allows patrons to buy beer or wine in one business and carry their drinks with them as they walk through the downtown and visit other establishments.

A parade delayed is not a parade denied
