Please help the city's 85th Anniversary Beach Bash. The city is planning an all-day beach bash Feb. 18 to celebrate its 85th year of incorporation. We are in need of donations to pay for a tent for the bands to play under and a tent with tables and chairs so people can eat in the shade.

If you would like to donate toward tents please send a check made out to the Triangle Inn Association, a 501(c)(3) organization, with the note at the bottom stating: "85th Anniversary Beach Bash"  and mail to Pam Johnson, Venice City Hall, 401 W. Venice Ave., Venice, FL 34285.
