  • Breaking News: New Resident Ejected

    Although this new resident was enjoying the pool at the Venetian, it was clear it wasn’t wanted.

  • History of the Ringling Circus & Museum,  Monday, April 7 at 5 pm

    For 65 years, The Greatest Show on Earth wintered in Sarasota and Venice, Florida, leaving those two cities forever different. What these gulf coast cities are today can be traced directly back to the King of the Circus himself, John Ringling — Renaissance man, real estate magnate, showman and visionary. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus departed Venice in 1992 but more than the memories live on. Kim Cool, Features Editor at Venice Gondolier Sun, will be our speaker for this fascinating seminar.
