Red Barn Furniture may be overlooked by a lot of people because it sits on CR 17 on the back side of Avon Park, between Avon Park and Sebring actually. Housed in a building that looks somewhat like a barn, this store is huge inside. They have sofas, living room tables, dining room furniture, bedding, outdoor furniture, rockers and more. While much of their furniture is new, Red Barn gets their furniture from a variety of places, too. Some of their furniture comes from auctions, so it is gently used. They get their bedding from a business which refurbishes used mattresses and box springs. Although we don't need furniture very often, we have bought a couple of nightstands for our guest bedroom here. We told our neighbors about Red Barn and they bought their living room furniture there.

Like most people, I hate nursing homes. Both of my grandmothers had to live in nursing homes the last years of their lives. It is my fear that I'll have to live in one, too; however, if I ever do, I would probably choose the Oaks. A young friend of ours recently had to stay at the Oaks for several months after having emergency surgery which nearly killed him. When we went to visit him, there was no nursing home odor permeating the halls and he seemed to be happy with the care he received there. Also, it was voted the Best Nursing Home Assisted Living facility in Highlands County.

Church is the best place to be and I think Avon Park Assembly of God is the best church to be a member of. Their love, support and encouragement have gotten me through tough times. And Pastor's John teaching of the word is right on.

This nonprofit organization has helped teach, raise and love many of our town's children. The precious children who attend Avon Park Community Child Development Center learn their colors and ABCs, how to count, how to get along with and relate to other children, get hot meals and get a head start on nursery school. We are often delighted to see teachers leading small groups of preschoolers from this school to the park or library.

Now that all their structural damage has been repaired after last year's hurricanes, Griffin's Dry Cleaning is back in business. I've used their services for years and have always been very happy with their work. They have been able to remove stains from garments and have replaced several buttons for me, as well.

I find fabulous deals at Big Lots. I always buy my household bleach there because it is 99 cents a gallon. Watch for the buggies up front, full of bargains. Ken, the manager, will put merchandise in there at 75% to 90% off! On top of the corporate sales (look for weekly ads), these prices are hard to beat. If you see a bargain, though, you'd better grab it because it probably won't be there next time you stop in.

When my mother died, I was the one who was responsible for making all the decisions for her arrangements. It was a difficult time for me emotionally and financially. Mr. Nelson was very helpful and gently guided me through the decisions I needed to make at that time. Even though that was 12 years ago, I still believe Mr. Nelson was honest and ethical in the way he treated me. He could easily have steered me into choosing things I didn't need and therefore making more money for himself but he didn't. He helped me make low-cost choices which fit my needs.

I made a counted cross stitch picture as a gift and wanted an engraved brass plaque to put on the frame. I found what I needed in a catalog but it would have cost close to $15 and I didn't want to spend that much money. After a lot of searching, I learned that Heartland Engraving was able to make exactly what I wanted for only a couple of dollars. It was the perfect final addition to my handmade gift.

I recommend Jimmy's Flower Shop because, not only are their arrangements beautiful, but customers get friendly, personal service, too. Jimmy's is always fun to browse because the displays he creates in his shop are so original and beautiful.

The Worden family has lived in Avon Park for several generations and have owned Worden Realty since before we moved to Avon Park in 1987. I don't think anyone knows the Avon Park area any better than this hometown real estate family. Not only do they know the area, but they'll work hard to help you find the house that meets your needs. The folks who work in this office are very friendly, too.
