Sims Park would ordinarily be teaming with folks getting ready for the annual KIAFest Main Street Blast which was to be held this weekend, but was cancelled. On this day, the state of Florida set record numbers of COVID-19 cases – 8,942 – and suspended alcohol service in Florida bars.

  1. Great snapshots. I don’t know your town, but after seeing these shots I feel like I have been given a great overview of New Port Richey. The images are very narrative and well composed. Good stuff Michele!
