The Florida Panther Project

More and more fun times at the 2026 Sarasota County Fair through Sunday, March 22!!

Lots of Courteous, Respectful, and Smart young people winning our legendary Solid Gold Plastic "Perfect Score" Trophies, and lots of smiling Moms and Dads!! We've had some very Special Guests, too, never know who might stop by!

Great weather forecast through Sunday, make it a great weekend, come by and see us at Robarts Arena. SEE YOU AT THE FAIR!!

We are asked about Wildlife Overpasses almost everywhere we go. Florida currently has more than 60 UNDERpasses in south Florida for wildlife to safely go under roads, and has OVERpasses on I-75 north of Tampa, and I-4 northeast of Orlando. UNDERpasses are generally adopted because of Florida topography requirements.

An additional OVERpass is scheduled to begin construction soon southwest of the current OVERpass on I-4.

Recently a problem arose in the form of a Development Request by R+L Carriers Company just south of Green Swamp WMA, and north of the proposed OVERpass across I-4.

The Request has been denied by Polk County.🤗
