The gang at Big T Tire are simply the best! When I was sick and my husband prepared to take me to urgent care one day, he discovered our car had a flat tire. As soon as we arrived at Big T Tire, the manager insisted I lay down in his office while his team quickly replaced our flat. This is a level of care that not many business offer these days.
Not only does Big T offer a complete line of new and used tires for cars, trucks, 4x4s, graders, airplanes and RVs, they also offer complete car care. This includes air conditioning and brake service, auto repair, mufflers and exhausts and truck accessories.
Don't be afraid to give them a try. You'll be glad you did.

The city of Avon Park was truly blessed the day Alice Oldham decided to move here and take over leadership of the Housing Authority. When she arrived, our public housing was in sad disrepair. There were even units that were boarded up. Through her guidance, low income housing in this small town has become 5 star and the housing authority has worked to become financially independent.

Turner Furniture is conveniently located on N. Highway 27 just north of Sebring in Avon Park.
Make sure you turn on the access road to get into the area.
I recently purchased a rattan living room set.
Though a bit pricier than other local stores, the quality makes it worth it.
Turner offers delivery for a fee or you are welcome to load and take your furniture home with you.
I opted for delivery service and they delivered in a timely manner.
I recommend this store for quality furniture and accessories.

We served a buffet luncheon at my wedding reception. We chose a variety of foods from several places in town. We ordered meat and cheese platters from Publix and chicken wings from Pizza Hut and potato salad from the Olympic Restaurant.
A friend of my mom's has ordered potato salad from here to take to parties for as long as we've known her and my mom always thought she was crazy. My mom thought it was a waste of good money when potato salad is so cheap and easy to make. Well, when she started thinking about making potato salad for 100 people and then storing it until it could be placed on the buffet tables, she took Barbara's advice and called the Olympic. My mom got so many compliments on the potato salad and it was gobbled up so quickly that she's never made potato salad from scratch again!

Highlands Animal Hospital has come to our rescue several times when our regular vet couldn't see us. The staff who answers the phone is always willing to listen to what I have to say and help in whatever way they could. We were in a predicament one time with an unaltered male dog and a female dog who was in heat. Although, Highlands Animal Hospital could not neuter our male for a couple of days, they kept him at their facility without charge to keep our female from getting pregnant. This was undoubtedly above and beyond what most other hospitals or clinics would have done.

More
The name comes from the 150-year-old Jacaranda tree growing where the hotel was to be built in 1923 - the Florida Boom Era. The tree was a landmark in town and there was much ado that it had to be felled to make room for the building. In fact, local citizens tried to replant the giant tree elsewhere, but it failed.
For several years, the hotel was known as the "Queen of the Ridge," thanks to its elegant accommodations and fine dining. The Great Depression of the 1930s and the War Years of the 1940s robbed her of her youth and sparkle. A series of loving owners tried their best to maintain her but the new trend toward highway hotels was just too much and the downward spiral continued. By 1988, the Jacaranda teetered on the edge of being closed down; but South Florida Community College came to the rescue. The college got into the Jacaranda act because of (1) its expanding programs in culinary arts, hospitality management and historic building restoration; (2) the need for student housing; and, (3) the desire to improve the economy of the community.
An enthusiastic crew of college staff, students and volunteers began the tedious jobs of scraping off all the accumulated coats of paint, patching, sealing, repainting, restoring the brass hardware and china fixtures, refinishing the wood floors, rewiring and re-plumbing.
Today, the "Jac" offers guests a choice of restored guest rooms, mini suites, master suites and grand suites, with the grand suite featuring a living room, two bedrooms and two baths. The restored lobby readily lends itself to relaxing, reading, conversing, card playing or working puzzles. And there's a heated, enclosed swimming pool.
Except in the summer, the dining room is open for lunch and dinner, with a southern-style buffet, salad bar and an a la carte menu. A grand buffet is offered on Sundays. It is closed Saturdays and Mondays.

My family has been buying cars and trucks from Jarrett Ford for almost 20 years. One of my stepbrothers even made the three-hour drive from Miami to buy his fleet of work vans here because the sales department gave him such an exceptional deal.
They have been servicing our cars for that long, too. Unlike too many other dealerships, Jarrett Ford does NOT sell you a car then leave you stranded. They go out of their way to make and keep you a happy, satisfied customer.
Bill Jarrett Ford was voted as having the Best Oil Change in the Highlands Today People's Choice Awards for 2005. They give you the best price on an oil change and their work can't be beat!
