Powerball and Cross Bar Ranch: What's up in Land O' Lakes

Happy Tuesday! Hope that your Monday got you started off on the right foot for the week. Did you know August is American Adventures Month? Have you taken any great trips lately to celebrate? Here are five other things we think are worth talking about.

PASCO COUNTY WANTS CROSS BAR RANCH BACK

Pasco is hoping to get Cross Bar Ranch, an 1,240 acre plot of land it sold to Pinellas County 30 years ago, back, according to Tampabay.com. Part of the county’s vision for the land includes opening it up with trail systems and connecting to other park area. What do you think?

SHOW US YOUR ADORABLE ANIMALS

There have been some fantastic adoption events lately, and we want to know if you’ve picked up a new friend! If you have, make sure to post a picture to our boards and show us your pet photos ! 

POWERBALL FEVER

Got your Powerball tickets? The payoff is up to $400 million for Wednesday night's drawing! Granted, it's not as big as June's record $590 million prize, but you could probably still live comfortably, right? Find nearby locations selling tickets on the Florida Lottery website. 

HOW ABOUT THOSE RAYS?

Entering Monday's off day, the Tampa Bay Rays were 66-45 and just a game behind the hated Boston Red Sox for first place in the American League East. The Rays return to action with a road trip that opens Tuesday night at 9:40p.m.against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

YOU MIGHT GET WET

It's looking like a wet Tuesday in Tampa Bay, with a possibility of scattered showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds, according to the National Weather Service. As always this time of year, you'll want to have your umbrella with you just in case.
