Buzz Stop – In and Around Tampa Bay

Would you believe me when I tell you. You are queen of my heart. Can you feel my love buzz. – Nirvana. The cooler weather is taking me back to those “Nirvana” happy days when we in Tampa Bay enjoy football, baseball and hockey. Most of all, the start of Fall makes for great times with lots of do around town.

First, we must give kudos to Julie Weintraub’s, Hands Across The Bay, whose Tampa Bay’s Dancing with the Stars ~ Broadway Edition on October 1st was in her own words, “The best DWTS ever!” The dancing was incredible and “celebrities” around Tampa Bay set the bar high but Sarah Jon Porreca rocked the stage and took home the trophy. An amazing night was enjoyed by many. Visit: DancingForCharity.com

Looking for a great family trip… consider a visit to The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art on the Tarpon Springs Campus of St. Petersburg College. The Museum’s 20th century collection is made up of art from Abraham Rattner’s estate donated by Allen and Isabelle Leepa and a large donation made by the Tampa Museum of Art in 1997. The largest collection in the world of Rattner’s work includes retrospective works: lithographs, tapestries, sculptures, paintings and stained glass. Visit: SPCollege.edu/Central/Museum
