The Amazing Acro-cats Featuring Tuna and the Rock Cats
2021-09-20 08:00 - 17:00 | FL
The Amazing Acro-cats Featuring Tuna and the Rock Cats are a troupe of rescued house cats. This one-of-a-kind, two hour long purrformance features talented felines roll on balls, ride skateboards, jump through hoops, and more!
The finale is the only all-cat band in the entire world – Tuna and the Rock Cats! The current band lineup features St. Clawed on guitar, Bowie on drums, Nue on keyboard, and NOW some brand new members: Ahi on woodblocks and Albacore on cowbell, Roux on trumpet, and Oz on Saxophone. There is even a chicken – Cluck Norris – rockin’ the tambourine!
“I can die happy now!” an audience member has claimed after seeing the band.
It all started with Chief Executive Human (or CEH for short) and cat lover Samantha Martin. Training animals at a young age, she knew instantly she would be working with animals for the rest of her life. By founding Rock Cats Rescue, the real reason behind having a traveling animal show, she has saved the lives of over 260 cats and kittens. Using the magic of clicker training, Samantha (and a few other humans) travel with over 20 cats and kittens all across the United States, educating and entertaining audiences that cats actually can be trained while she tenaciously continues to save the lives of cats and kittens through rescue, foster, and adoption.
Featured on Netflix docu-series Cat People, Tuna and the Rock Cats have also appeared alongside Stephen Colbert on his late night show, as well as PBS and Animal Planet!
The Amazing Acro-cats are performing for 4 shows in Gulfport, Florida at the Catherine Hickman Theater on 10/23 through 10/24 Their address is 5501 27th Ave S, Gulfport, FL 33707

SPIRITS of St. Petersburg Presents the World's Largest Ghost Hunt
2021-09-25 18:00 - 21:00 | Suntan Art Center, 3300 Gulf Blvd, St. Pete Beach, FL, 33706, United States
The SPIRITS of St. Petersburg is participating in it’s fourth installation of the World’s Largest Ghost Hunt, this year hosted by the Suntan Art Center. We are the only team in West Central Florida to be selected for the event (the other teams are in St. Augustine and South Florida).
The Suntan Art Center is housed in the Don Vista building. Built in 1924 by Thomas Rowe, the famed businessman lived there as he oversaw the building of the Don Cesar. The Don Vista was then converted to administrative offices and a bank for the hotel. After World War II ended, it was sold along with the hotel to the US Army for back taxes. Then, the Don Vista held governmental offices and a library for the department of Fish and Wildlife. In 1984, the Suntan Art Center moved into the building and has inhabited it ever since.
This event includes a paranormal investigation course, breakout sessions to work with special equipment, and a walk through the historic building. Some still wonder if the energies of the past still linger within its walls.
The event has limited seating, will follow the COVID restrictions set by the art center, and lasts three hours. It takes place on Sept. 25, 6 – 9 PM and will be broadcast through the World’s Largest Ghost Hunt livestream from 8 – 9 PM. Tickets are $30, and 50% of the profits are being donated to the Suntan Art Center, which is a 501C3.

Oct. 21st – Field of Dreams (1989) – When Iowa farmer Ray (Kevin Costner) hears a mysterious voice one night in his cornfield saying “If you build it, he will come,” he feels the need to act. Despite taunts of lunacy, Ray builds a baseball diamond on his land, supported by his wife, Annie (Amy Madigan). Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging from the crops to play ball, led by “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. But, as Ray learns, this field of dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play.
