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.

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.

When my husband and I sold one house and bought another, we had to live in an apartment for a while. We had to put quite a bit of stuff in storage while we lived in smaller quarters. 1st Security Self Storage seems quite secure - the manager lives on premises, there is a very tall fence around the property and everyone has to have a pass code to enter. Our only problem was that we did have some rat and bug damage.

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.

My husband and I live in an old historic home. It's always in need of repair and we are always in need of supplies. Before our local Home Depot was built, Scotty's was Bagwell's only competition. Now that Scotty's is gone, Home Depot is their only competition. Bagwell has been able to handle the competition of both businesses. Neither of the national companies has ever come close to the personal service Bagwell gives. They have always been able to give accurate answers to any question we've ever asked. They stand behind their products. They deliver for free. And their prices often meet or beat Home Depot's.

Sedlock & Heston Construction not only provides quality housing, they also care about the community. Both Terry Heston and John Sedlock were born in this town and have seen it grow and change - both for the good and bad. They want to keep the good parts of the past and combine that with the growth and development of today. One of the many ways they do this is by participating in Progress Energy's Energy Efficient Construction programs. They build new homes and work on older homes. Either way, you can't go wrong hiring Terry and John.

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.
