Land O' Lakes Businesses Welcome Mitt Romney

Local businesses are welcoming Mitt Romney as folks begin streaming into the grounds of Land O' Lakes High School for the Republican presidential candidate's rally tonight.

"It's a far-fetched idea that he will stop by," but Mosquito Grill and Bar is hoping the sign attracts attention from both the Romney camp and folks headed out to the rally, restaurant manager Diondra Saircloth said.

Walton's Ice Cream & Coffee owner Andy Walton is hoping his sign draws folks in before and after the rally, as well, he said.

The line to enter the John Benedetto Stadium is growing steadily. Overflow parking with shuttle service is available from Sunlake High School when the lots at LOLHS are full.
