WE DID IT!! We Are Sitting Pretty in Lake Placid!
Sitting Pretty Mortage Burning!! Sitting Pretty in Lake Placid offered local businesses and residents the opportunity to sponsor park benches  positioned along Interlake Boulevard, Main Avenue, in or near local parks and other places of interest. Funds raised from the event were used to retire debt and fund other community projects.

Each bench sold for $1,000, and included a permanent commemorative plaque inscribed as directed by the bench sponsor.

Sitting Pretty Mortgage Burning, l-r Bob Graves, Debbie Graves, Harold Owen, Past President of the Board, Vicki Spires, President of the Board and Eileen May actually burn the mortgage documents at the celebration.
"Sitting Pretty" was the brainchild of Allstar Car Sales owner, Debbie Graves, who served as the event's Chairperson. Proceeds from the fund raiser were used to retire our mortgage debt, and fund other community projects.

Committee members working with Graves on the event included Cheryl Brantley-Davis, Brantley Properties; James Colley, Colley Financial Services; Pamela Karlson, P.A.; Harold Lindau, Lake Placid Foliage; Debbie Malloy-Thorpe, C. S. Edwards Realty; Kim Miller, Happiness Farms; Margaret Morris, Glades Electric Cooperative; David Ottati, Florida Hospital Lake Placid; Harold Owen; Carolyn Phypers, Happiness Farms; Gene Polk, Heartland National Bank; and Vicki J.
