During a clear midwinter night under a star-filled sky, the people of the scarcely-a-town of Almost, Maine encounter love in all its turns, both arriving and departing.
Theater West EndLunch & Learn - defensive driving course at iHop
An instructor-led, four-hour Basic Driver Improvement traffic school is offered inside a Denny’s restaurant, pairing learning with a meal. The fee is $50, payable in cash at the door, and it covers both the course and the meal. Recognized by FLHSMV, this official four-hour BDI class is presented in a supportive, comfortable setting, and no exams are given. Participants receive a completion certificate before departing. Please bring a driver’s license and, if relevant, a traffic ticket or court documents. The course can be taken for one purpose at a time, either to keep points off a license or to pursue an auto insurance discount, and attendees should confirm discount eligibility with their insurer. Instruction is in English, with Spanish-language workbooks available.
IHOPFather Figure 200
At Full Throttle Raceway & Pro Shop, the inaugural Father Figure 200 celebrates dads, mentors, uncles, coaches, grandparents, and all the guiding figures who help shape us. This team endurance race pairs two drivers who share the wheel under stock class rules with an 8T pinion, with rental cars available. The goal is simple and thrilling—the first team to complete 200 laps claims victory. Teams can be a father and child, an uncle with a niece or nephew, a mentor and student, a grandparent and grandchild, or any duo that represents a father figure relationship. Entry is $30 per team and registration is capped at 10 teams. Awards include a Kyosho MR-04 Readyset for the winners and trophies for the top three teams. Club racing follows the main event. Expect a spirited atmosphere focused on racing together, making memories, building friendships, and honoring the people who show the way.
