New Sports Blog for Polk County
Posted: 11 May 2008 11:28 PM CDT

Take a gander at this: "Our mission is to be one of your go-to spots on the Internet for all the latest happenings in the world of sports in Polk County."
That's the mission of a new sports blog in Polk County. CatchCentralFlorida is the work of the staff at Polk County Sports Marketing. From a quick look at the home page it seems they plan to cover Baseball, Softball and the little sports, football, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball. They're even covering sports without a ball: auto, fishing, and "water sports." There is even a place for golf news. Though why anyone would hit a ball and then go chase it is beyond me.
The blog has been flying under the radar for a few weeks. The first post on March 25th included a peek at why Polk County Sports Marketing started the blog: "We host more than 200 sporting events each year in Polk County and this blog will be a way to get the word out on all that is going on in the world of sports in Polk County - and beyond."
A belated "Welcome." If you like sports, or even golf, you should add CatchCentralFlorida to your feed reader.

On Monday, don't go to Smokey Bones for lunch or dinner.
The restaurant was recently sold by Darden. According to an employee of the restaurant, the 3901 US Highway 98 N location will close on Monday to retrain staff on a new menu and new procedures.
The restaurant will open Tuesday at 11 am.
