The cats and dogs of Levy County got a big boost Saturday as country chart-topper Chris Cagle headlined the Bark-N-Purr Benefit in Bronson. The event, a fundraiser for the Humane Society of Levy County's planned spay, neuter and adoption facility, attracted more than 2,700 festivalgoers, according to organizers' first estimates.

Cagle rocked the soccer field at Bronson Youth League as his stamping, chanting fans sang along to such hits as "What Kinda Gone" and "My Love Goes On and On and On" as well as a sleeper from the new album, "Change Me."

My little Cessna is my magic carpet to many places that would otherwise be unavailable by car. An example of that would be the Bahamas Islands. There are no roads to the islands.

I have spent quite a few hours in the Bahamas, mostly metal detecting the beaches and the close-in waters were people swim. And, too, the beaches behind the bars were especially productive.

What he found was neither unexpected, nor particularly alarming - at least not for the future of the building.
