Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and, once again, each of us is faced with the question, “What can I get that special someone this year?”  A heart-shaped box of chocolates won’t work for anyone on the Paleo diet.  A dozen red roses are beautiful but only for a short while and definitely not what a fella wants to get!  Why not consider a gift that will last a lifetime and beyond?  For only $50.00 (less than those roses), you can let everyone know just how you feel about someone special.  Or you can remember a loved one who is no longer with you.

All you have to do is contact the Clermont Historical Society and order a brick that will be placed in the circular walkway at the Historic Village.  Simply call 352-242-7734 or 352-432-3496 and leave a message or email slhistoricalsociety@gmail.com and someone will get right back to you.  Every effort will be made to have the brick in place for February 14th.  Imagine taking a leisurely stroll through the Village and seeing your love declared in stone.  Think of the impression that would make!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
