Burlesque, Wine and Horrors

Keeping up with all the cool, fun, quirky and just plain important things happening in the Carrollwood area and throughout Tampa Bay is no easy feat.

Have no fear! Carrollwood-Northdale Patch is here to help.

Here are a few things we thought you might like to know about, read about or better yet talk about:

Become a Wine Aficionado

Just Grillin’ might have a solution for you. Its first ever Wine 101 class is coming up on July 25. Check out more details on the event here!

Learn Football with the Warriors

Have a budding football pro that needs to learn more of the basics? Steinbrenner High’s Warriors are playing host to a camp this week, starting July 22, that teaches kids ages 6 to 15 the fundamentals of the game. Find out more on the event listing!

Build Your Dream House – Haunted House that Is!

Have an awesome idea for making a haunted house especially scary? Busch Gardens wants to hear from you!

The theme park is turning to Tampa Bay residents to help it plan out “key elements” for a new haunted house expected to debut in time for this year’s Howl-O-Scream, which opens Sept. 27.

Have your say on what should go into Death Water Bayou by visiting Howl-O-Scream’s Facebook page.

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot?

As this brand new week kicks off, forecasters say rain chances are reasonably low for summertime (around 30 percent or so), but they anticipate Tampa Bay will heat up a bit.

While we won’t quite be able to fry eggs on sidewalks like those in Death Valley, highs at the start of the week could come close to the mid-90s, according to the National Weather Service.

Burlesque Anyone?

Looking for something a little different to check out when the weekend makes its way back around?

If so, you might want to put this one on your calendar. Pin Up America’s troupe “Le Teaze” is putting on a “Side Show” Saturday, July 27 in Ybor City. Check out the full details here!
