4.      South of Main Street on Grand Boulevard, you can spend an evening with author Edith Huber, writing under the name Vera Beaumont. She'll be discussing the novel “The Magreb Amulet." The event takes place  6:30-8 p.m. at  Progress Energy Art Gallery 6231 Grand Blvd, New Port Richey.

5.    The parents of Kiley Griggs, a young girl with cerebral palsy, have entered her into another online contest  to continue to fund an intensive therapy. The Griggs’ dream is for Kiley to walk. They won in an online contest last year money for a therapy that has so far helped her grow stronger. This new contest, the Disney, I Heart My Family Photo Contest, could net them $500, which they need for future sessions of the same therapy. You can vote once a day by going to  http://family.go.com/i-heart-my-family-contest/favorite-family-photo/god-bless-these-little-legs-85053,.
