This one-of-a-kind\, two hour long purrformance features talented felines roll on balls\, ride skateboards\, jump through hoops\, and more! \nThe finale is the only all-cat band in the entire world – Tuna and the Rock Cats!

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. \nFeatured 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! \nThe 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\n.

SUMMARY:SPIRITS of St. Petersburg Presents the World's Largest Ghost Hunt
DESCRIPTION: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). \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nFor more information\, contact Brandy Stark at brandybstark13@gmail.com or call 727-821-5759.
