All Welcome To Silent Auction And Trivia Night Benefiting Rajun’ Bull Band
The Bloomingdale Senior High School Rajun’ Bull Band is hosting its annual auction on Saturday, February 23 at O’Brien’s Irish Pub & Grill, located at 701 W Lumsden Rd. in Brandon. The community is invited to come out and have some fun while helping the Band and Color Guard raise funds for much needed musical instruments and equipment upgrades.
The event begins at 4 p.m. with a Silent Auction and will include a trivia night beginning at 5 p.m.
The Silent Auction will continue between Trivia rounds.
The cost is $10 per person (up to six players per team). There will be prizes, 50/50, Mulligans and more.
Last year, as the Bloomingdale Bulls football team made school history making it to the third round of the playoffs, the Rajun’ Bull Marching Band & Color Guard was there to support the team every step of the way. “Our band is a major factor (when they travel with us also) and does an incredible job of playing very loudly and making it difficult on our opponent,” said former Head Coach Max Warner.
Business donations are welcome for the Silent Auction. Contact Brandye Fenn at 841-9090 or rajunbullband@mail.com.

Spring Season Sign-ups Are Underway At Pinecrest Little League
Pinecrest Little League (PLL) welcomes all children ages 4 to 16 to play baseball and softball this spring season. PLL is enjoying robust growth due in part to a resurgence of Little League’s popularity, as well as Pinecrest’s strong volunteer base committed to making recreational and competitive baseball/softball fun and financially accessible for all kids.
With the proliferation of travel teams and parents in search of the best training grounds for their children to earn college scholarships, PLL has a different approach. PLL primarily focuses on the fun and learning of the game to instill a lifetime love of sports and physical activity. The league encourages kids to play multiple sports. Some Little Leaguers go on to play Major League Baseball, but all Little Leaguers gain valuable life lessons, personal growth and great memories.
PLL invites all children to play baseball and softball, exercising competitive team spirit in a wholesome environment. Every child can learn the game, improve his or her skills and grow in character and confidence at PLL.
Join us for another fantastic spring season. For more information on how to sign up, visit www.pinecrestlittleleague.org or call 473-2516.
