If your heading down to Daytona you should be in for a kickin’ year. 2011 marks the 70th annual event and from the looks of things Daytona is going to be celebrating big. As usual you can find daily happenings at all the major hot spots such as the Broken Spoke, Full Moon, Boot Hill Saloon, Destination Daytona, Irongate Saloon, Limp Nickie Lot, Dog House, Gillys, the Cabbage Patch and all the other fun spots to hit. Of course don’t forget all the racing that will be going down at the speedway, after all the races are what this event is really all about. There will also be bike show, after bike show, after bike show. Looking for some old cool treasures, be sure to hit up the Limp Nickie swap meet, this will be for serious hunters only as it was stated no vendors will be allowed carrying those feather roach clips and trinkets like that. There will be plenty of guided rides you can go on, one special one being the Harley Davidson’s Women’s MDA ride on March 8th. Of course another great attraction is the beach, how about jaunting out of town for a ride and then spending the afternoon relaxing in the sand. We also highly recommend you hit up the Ormand beach Union Church Pancake breakfast, nothing like supporting the local community, not to mention you get the best food at the best prices at these events and top it off with some of the best conversations with the people you will meet. One last thing, while your in Daytona be sure to check the site for updates from Sara as she reports with Rally TV, we will have a post on that soon. You can check this out to see all the excitement and find out what’s going on, if you can’t make it to Daytona, Rally TV will share with you all that you missed. Ride safe!
FOXY
9 year old Pomeranian mix
Hello!!! I’m Foxy!! Want to play?! I love to play – let’s chase a ball and run around together!
I’m Foxy and I’m one beautiful lady. I love people and to tell the truth, I’m not so sure that I’m not one of them. I know I’m better than all these other dogs I see running around…I’d rather hang out with you!
I’m very affectionate with people I know, and if I’m properly introduced I can do well with strangers too. I can be a little territorial, so I’m not a good match for young kids. I’m much happier with adults and playing with toys, or just being with you while you putter around the house. I could stand to be crate-trained as I still have a little trouble remembering where to go the bathroom…but I just need a little help!
Do you have room for a fuzzy little orange fireball at your house? Then come visit me, Foxy at Animal Friends!

David Uhl 70th Daytona Piece
In keeping up with tradition here is the release of David Uhl’s latest masterpiece, “Ready to Rally”. This piece is the 7th in the Daytona Commemorative Series and features a beautiful lady biker, readying her ride for the next leg in front of Daytona Harley-Davidson on Beach Street.
In David’s words, “This being the anniversary year for the rally, I wanted to paint a subject that was very rally specific. Looking over the last six years of my Daytona Commemorative pieces, I realized that there was not a “Bike Week ” depiction in the whole group. So I thought it appropriate this year to create a work that represented a sight that would most certainly grab your attention while you were cruisin’ the streets. This is my favorite model Elizabeth and she will be with us at Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach on the 11th and 12th to meet and greet all those who care to stop by and say hello”.
As with his previous Daytona pieces, David will make these prints available through the end of this year’s rally (March 13th). Edition numbers will be assigned as orders are taken and shipping is included in the prices below within the lower 48 United States.
Hand-signed, numbered canvas giclee prints:
“Regular” – image size 20″ x 30″, $895 framed
“Large” – image size 28″ x 42″, $2,850 framed
David will be in his gallery at Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach (outside the front door of the dealership) from March 4-13.

DATA
10 year old domestic shorthair
Data is a very sweet and handsome cat who is looking for a loving owner and a new forever home to call his own. In his former home, the person that he trusted neglected him, but Data has put his past behind him and is looking eagerly to the future.
Data is very shy; in fact, the shelter environment is a little overwhelming for him. He has shown himself to be an attentive and mellow cat. He’s very talkative and hopes to find a home with a very patient and loving owner who will help him come out of his shell. We think that he would do well in a home with another cat as a furry companion.
If you think that you could provide the loving home that Data has been waiting for, please visit Animal Friends and ask to speak to an Adoptions Counselor. He can’t wait to meet you!
