Mason Johnson

The Hernando County Wildlife Warriors are calling all youth kayakers and their parents to get on the river together and make a difference. The event is being led by Wildlife Warrior Mason Johnson. Mason Johnson is only 12-years old, but he’s determined to make a difference in his community and beyond. He spends much of his free time cleaning up parks, beaches and rivers. Mason volunteers his time cleaning along the river banks, and learning more about native Florida wildlife. He hopes to one day become an environmental engineer, and work with the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors. Mason is an incredible young man. His objective is to see more youth get involved in cleaning the river. If you do not have children and would still like to to join us, everyone is welcome. Meeting place to be announced.

Of Mice and Men

STAGE WEST PLAYHOUSE PRESENT OF MICE AND MEN
SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2 PM
SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 4 PM

At Stage West Playhouse:Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, with delusions of living off the “fat of the land,” have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a man-child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It’s Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly that have made George cautious about who the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates with. His promise to allow Lennie to “tend to the rabbits” on their future land keeps Lennie calm, amidst distractions, as the overgrown child needs constant reassurance. But when a ranch boss’ promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn with a broken neck, it’s obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. George, now worried about his own safety, knows exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he meets him there. Realizing they can’t run away anymore, George is faced with a moral question: How should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands?
