Putting the cool into summer

July 27, 2018 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

These children, and adults, are taking advantage of refreshing water sprays on a recent hot summer day at Waterplay at Zephyr Park, 5039 Fourth St., in Zephyrhills. There was no shortage of fun, as children splashed around and adults tried to keep up with them — or at least keep an eye on them. Smiles ruled the day.

As afternoon temperatures soared, 4-year-old Clence Poe, of Zephyrhills, jumps joyfully on top of a water jet. He was at the water park with his mom, aunt and cousin. They had been playing at the playground and came to cool down at the water park. (Christine Holtzman)
Four-year-old Topher Brook, of Zephyrhills, takes a break from the intense water gun fight he is having with another child that he met at the waterpark. Topher and his grandmother, Bonnie, visit the park at least once a week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two-year-old Anaiya Davis, of Wesley Chapel, enjoys running through the water sprinklers while clinging tightly to her grandmother, Pamela Oliva, of Lutz, left, and her mom, Arianna Oliva, right. They were spending a recent afternoon at Waterplay at Zephyr Park, 5039 Fourth St., in Zephyrhills. The family said they learned about the no-cost park on the Internet and didn’t mind driving to it, because it’s beautiful and fun.

Tuning into the ‘Sounds of Summer’

July 27, 2018 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Children and adults had a chance to check out classic cars, enjoy live music and peruse local vendors at ‘Sounds of Summer,’ at Northpointe Village in Lutz. Besides offering entertainment, the new event, sponsored by the Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Suncoast Parkway, also benefited The Rap House Youth Shelter. Another ‘Sounds of Summer’ event is planned for Aug. 11 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Don Kelman, of Trinity, reminisces as he peaks under the hood of a 1951 Ford F1. Kelman remembers being a young press operator in Detroit when these trucks were in production. (Christine Holtzman)
Just outside the classic car show, 1-year-old Thorin Piazza, of Tampa, dances with his 6-year-old sister, Banner, to oldies performed by the band, Crossroads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After eating dinner with her grandparents at a nearby restaurant, 4-year-old Brooklyn Burton, of Hudson, clutches her umbrella, as they browse through Northpointe Village, 2155 Northpointe Parkway in Lutz. They were there to enjoy the ‘Sounds of Summer’ event.
