The Shortest Race On the Track - Corgis Set To Dash At Gulfstream Park At The Inaugural Coastal Corgi Classic South Florida Sun Times Feb 25, 2026 Known For The Thunder Of Hooves And The Flash Of Silks Streaking Down Its Storied Dirt Track, Gulfstream Park Is Preparing For A Very Different Kind Of Horsepower On Saturday, March 14th, 2026. In Place Of Sleek Thoroughbreds, The Spotlight Will Shine On A Field Of Short-Legged, Big-Eared Competitors For The Inaugural Coastal Corgi Classic — A Family-Friendly spectacle That Promises Maximum Cuteness And Surprisingly Fierce Competition. For one afternoon, the iconic South Florida Racetrack will transform into a playground for registered Corgis, as the beloved breed takes part in a series of short, controlled sprint races. While the competitors may stand under a foot tall the excitement will measure up to any stakes race on the calendar. The Coastal Corgi Classic is designed as both a lighthearted entertainment event and a carefully managed competition. The races will be conducted under strict safety, operational, and Animal-Welfare guidelines. The goal is to deliver a joyful, community-focused experience without compromising the professional standards that define Gulfstream Park’s racing operations. Four Heats, One Champion The format mirrors traditional racing in structure, if not in stride length. The day will feature four qualifying heats. The top three finishers in each heat will advance to the Championship race, where the finalists will compete for top honors. Medals and trophies will be awarded to the three fastest Corgis in the final showdown. All entrants, regardless of how far they advance, will leave with swag bags filled with canine-friendly prizes, including dog bowls, tennis balls, and other goodies. The take-home treats ensure that every participant feels like a winner — even if they get distracted mid-race by a squeaky toy or the roar of the crowd. Registration is open exclusively to Corgis, and officials are clear about the rules: no other breeds will be allowed on the property for this event. Owners must submit American Kennel Club Registration Documentation, Current Vaccination Records, and any additional required health or identification paperwork upon check-in. The final day to enter a Corgi into the competition is Sunday, March 1st, 2026. Check-in on race day will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Carousel Club Garden, giving owners time to prepare their pint-sized sprinters for their moment in the spotlight. Serious Safety For Serious Fun While the atmosphere is expected to be festive, organizers emphasize that safety is paramount. All dogs must remain on a leash at all times before and after their races. Owners and handlers are responsible for their dogs throughout the event, including cleanup duties and compliance with all instructions from Gulfstream Park Staff. The venue reserves the right to expel any dog if necessary, underscoring its commitment to maintaining a safe and orderly environment. Public address announcements, participant recognition and designated photo opportunities will be incorporated into the day’s programming, adding to the celebratory feel. The event represents a creative expansion of Gulfstream Park Racing’s entertainment offerings. Traditionally associated with premier Thoroughbred meets and high-profile stakes races, the track has increasingly embraced community-oriented programming that appeals to families and younger audiences. By introducing the Coastal Corgi Classic, Gulfstream Park aims to blend its rich racing heritage with a dose of Social-Media-ready charm. The sight of dozens of Corgis sprinting down the dirt track — ears flapping, tails wagging — is expected to draw enthusiastic crowds and generate plenty of shareable moments. A Perfect Fit For South Florida Corgis, with their compact builds and animated personalities, have become internet sensations in recent years. From viral videos to dedicated fan accounts, the breed commands a devoted following. Hosting a Corgi Race in South Florida taps into that popularity while offering a novel attraction for local families and visitors alike. Gulfstream Park, located at 901 South Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida 33009 and is uniquely positioned to stage such an event. The venue not only boasts a World-Class racing facility but also anchors a broader entertainment and lifestyle destination that includes dining, shopping and open-air gathering spaces. That combination makes it well-suited to accommodate both canine competitors and the crowds eager to cheer them on. Organizers expect a mix of seasoned Corgi owners and first-time participants. For some, the race will be a playful test of their dog’s speed and focus. For others, it will simply be an opportunity to enjoy a memorable day out with fellow dog lovers. Community, Creativity And Competition The Coastal Corgi Classic reflects a broader trend within sports and entertainment venues: diversifying programming to create year-round engagement. By hosting breed-specific races under controlled conditions, racetracks can introduce new audiences to their facilities while maintaining high operational standards. Gulfstream Park is always focusing on innovative family friendly events as part of an ongoing community-focused entertainment. Even as the track continues to host elite Thoroughbred Racing, it is exploring ways to make the venue accessible and appealing to a wider demographic. The Corgi-only requirement, though strict, ensures a level playing field and simplifies logistical planning. With dogs of similar size and temperament competing against one another, the races can be structured safely and fairly. Owners who believe they have the fastest Corgi in South Florida are encouraged to register before the March 1st, 2026 Deadline. Detailed registration instructions and additional information are available through Gulfstream Park’s official website: https://www.gulfstreampark.com/event/entertainment/coastal-corgi-classic-mar-14/ From Thoroughbreds to Tiny Sprinters Though the competitors may be smaller than usual, the energy on March 14th, 2026 is expected to rival that of any major race day. Spectators will trade binoculars for smartphones as they capture the action, and the cheers that typically accompany a photo finish are likely to erupt when a determined Corgi charges across the line. In a sport defined by tradition, the Coastal Corgi Classic offers a playful reminder that racing, at its heart, is about shared excitement. Whether it’s a champion Thoroughbred chasing glory or a pint-sized Corgi sprinting toward a squeaky toy at the finish, the thrill of the dash remains the same. As Gulfstream Park prepares to host what may be the shortest race on its track, one thing is certain: on March 14th, 2026, the smallest competitors will command the biggest applause. Gulfstream Park is located at 901 South Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida 33009 Instagram: @gulfstreampark For more information about Gulfstream Park & The Village at Gulfstream Park, please visit: www.gulfstreampark.com Previous Next

YMCA Of South FL Breaks Ground - Transformational YMCA Family Center Soon To Be A Gathering Place At Holiday Park In Fort Lauderdale South Florida Sun Times Feb 19, 2026 Leadership From The YMCA Of South Florida, Broward Health And The City Of Fort Lauderdale Welcomed Donors, Partners And Community Leaders To Celebrate The Groundbreaking Of The Newest YMCA Family Center And Adjacent Broward Health Emergency Department (ED) At Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale. Rooted In Holiday Park’s More Than 75-Year Legacy As Fort Lauderdale’s “Backyard,” The New Y Will Honor The Park’s Rich History While Building A Healthier Future For Generations To Come. This transformational project, with a combined 60,000-Square-Foot YMCA and Broward Health ED, will sit on a 3.5-acre site, donated by the City of Fort Lauderdale. Located adjacent to The Parker, this unique hub is designed to build a healthier community for all ages and bring new programs and services to east Fort Lauderdale. Not only will Fort Lauderdale be the first city in South Florida to have two YMCA locations, but this is also the first YMCA in the country to include an ED as part of its footprint and is the first freestanding ED for Broward Health in Fort Lauderdale. “We are very proud to stand on the grounds of Holiday Park and honored to partner with Broward Health,” said YMCA of South Florida President and CEO Sheryl A. Woods. “We couldn’t do this without our partners and supporters, including the City of Fort Lauderdale.

The adjacent Broward Health 12,000-Square-Foot freestanding Emergency Department will bring full emergency services closer to home for residents including on-site imaging, such as CT scans and X-rays, and lab work and exam treatment areas staffed by board-certified emergency physicians. Broward Health will also occupy 2,000 Square Feet on the wellness floor of the new YMCA. Together, Broward Health and the YMCA will deliver community health education and programs designed to improve the quality of health and lives of residents. “This is a momentous occasion as we expand our geographic footprint with a much-needed freestanding Emergency Department to support the City of Fort Lauderdale’s rapidly developing population,” said Shane Strum, President & CEO of Broward Health. “With the YMCA and the City of Fort Lauderdale as partners, we will broaden access to high-quality care and help shape the future of our community’s healthcare landscape.” Spanning more than 90 acres, Holiday Park has long been a central gathering place for Fort Lauderdale residents, offering a variety of amenities such as walking paths, a dog park, pickleball courts, numerous sports fields and more. The addition of the YMCA builds on this legacy and will serve as a gateway to the community and create a comprehensive destination for community engagement and recreation.

10 Reasons Foodies Are Hungering For SOBEWFF 2026 - Why The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s 25th Anniversary Is A Culinary And Cultural Can’t-Miss Event By Merilee Kern, MBA Feb 19, 2026 Every February, Miami Becomes Something More Than A Destination. It Becomes A Stage. For Four Days, The City Transforms Into A Living, Breathing Celebration Of Food, Culture, Music, And Creativity As The Food Network South Beach Wine And Food Festival Presented By Capital One Returns With Unmatched Scale And Energy. In 2026, That Transformation Carries Extra Weight. SOBEWFF Is Celebrating Its 25th Anniversary, Marking A Milestone That Reflects How Far The Festival Has Come And How Deeply It Has Shaped The National Culinary Conversation. What began as a regional food gathering is now one of the most influential experiential platforms in the country, drawing more than 500 chefs and celebrity talent and tens of thousands of attendees annually. It is also a powerful engine for education, having raised more than $45 Million to support Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. This year’s programming is bigger, louder, and more immersive than ever, stretching across Miami Beach, the mainland, and beyond. In a crowded festival landscape where many events feel interchangeable, SOBEWFF stands apart because it has never treated food as a silo. From its earliest years, the Festival has understood cuisine as culture, a connective force that brings together entertainment, travel, philanthropy, and education in ways that feel authentic rather than manufactured. That philosophy is especially visible in this 25th Anniversary Edition, where the programming feels less like a retrospective and more like a forward-looking snapshot of where food, hospitality, and live experiences are headed next. SOBEWFF 2026 is not resting on legacy. It is using it as fuel. If you love food, travel, culture, or simply being where the energy is, here are ten reasons SOBEWFF 2026 belongs at the top of your calendar. 1. It is not just a festival. It is a full-scale cultural takeover. SOBEWFF does not simply host events. It redefines Miami for four days. From sunlit beachfront tastings to late-night DJ sets and chef-driven spectacles, the Festival blurs the lines between culinary celebration, entertainment, and destination travel. The 25th Anniversary amplifies that ambition, expanding the Festival’s footprint and layering food with music, pop culture, and nightlife in a way few events can match. With more than 105 events on the schedule and talent spanning food, television, fashion, and music, SOBEWFF feels less like a weekend festival and more like a citywide experience that rewards curiosity and appetite in equal measure. 2. Mike’s Amazing Burger Bash is a legend for a reason. Thursday night’s Mike’s Amazing Burger Bash presented by Schweid and Sons is more than an opening event. It is a rite of passage. Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Burger Bash brings together top restaurants from across the country, each vying for ultimate burger bragging rights. Hosted by Rachael Ray, with Brooklyn Peltz Beckham joining as co-host and debuting a special dish created exclusively for the event, the evening blends competition, indulgence, and star power. A judging panel that includes Gayle King, Ashley Graham, Bert Kreischer, and Nick DiGiovanni ensures the stakes are real. Thousands of burgers later, one chef walks away with the coveted title, and guests leave knowing they just witnessed one of the most iconic moments in American food festivals. 3. Wine Spectator Trade Day sets the tone for what comes next. Friday afternoon’s Wine Spectator Trade Day hosted by Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits offers a sophisticated counterpoint to the Festival’s more raucous moments. Designed for industry insiders, this event is where conversations happen, palates are challenged, and trends begin to crystallize. Producers, distributors, and professionals gather to taste, connect, and exchange insights that ripple far beyond the Festival weekend. It is polished, purposeful, and quietly influential, reminding attendees that SOBEWFF is as much about shaping the future of food and drink as it is about celebrating the present. 4. Guy Fieri turns competition into pure spectacle. Friday night’s Coca-Cola presents Tournament of Champions hosted by Guy Fieri delivers Food Network adrenaline at full throttle. This is a culinary competition designed for a live audience, complete with high-energy judging, bold flavors, and theatrical flair. The addition of a live performance by Rev Run elevates the night from cooking show to cultural event. It is loud, fast, and unapologetically fun, capturing the spirit of Miami while showcasing the intensity and creativity that define modern food entertainment. 5. The Grand Tasting Village is the beating heart of the Festival. Saturday and Sunday afternoons belong to the Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village featuring Publix Culinary Demonstrations sponsored by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove. Hosted by Sofia Vergara and Manolo Vergara, the Village is a sprawling culinary playground where guests can wander, taste, sip, and discover at their own pace. Live demonstrations, brand activations, and endless bites create a choose-your-own-adventure experience that rewards curiosity. Saturday’s addition of a Ja Rule performance on the Only in Dade stage underscores how seamlessly SOBEWFF blends food with music, turning a daytime tasting into an all-out celebration. 6. FoodieCon adds global flavor and travel inspiration. Saturday’s FoodieCon presented by The Islands of The Bahamas brings a distinct sense of place to the Festival. This immersive experience blends culinary storytelling with travel inspiration, spotlighting island flavors, culture, and creativity. It is a reminder that food is one of the most powerful gateways to understanding a destination, and that SOBEWFF is as much about exploration as it is about indulgence. 7. Masters of Fire taps into something primal. Saturday night’s Masters of Fire hosted by Tyler Florence celebrates cooking at its most elemental. Live-fire techniques, bold flavors, and dramatic presentations come together in an event that feels both ancient and modern. Flames flicker, chefs push boundaries, and guests experience food in its rawest, most visceral form. It is a standout moment that proves why fire-driven cuisine continues to captivate chefs and diners alike. 8. Tacos and tequila take over the Miami Design District. Saturday night’s Tacos and Tequila presented by Tequila Cazadores hosted by Aaron Sanchez brings the Festival into the heart of the Miami Design District. This ticketed event combines bold Mexican flavors with flowing pours and a late-night vibe that feels effortlessly Miami. It is social, celebratory, and perfectly timed for those who want to keep the energy going long after the sun sets. 9. Sunday’s finale honors legacy and celebration. Sunday evening’s BACARDI presents 25 Years of Legendary Bites and Iconic Sips hosted by Andrew Zimmern is both a look back and a toast forward. The event celebrates the Festival’s history while embracing its future, pairing thoughtfully crafted food with expertly mixed cocktails. DJ CASSIDY’s performance brings a high-energy soundtrack that feels celebratory rather than nostalgic, closing the weekend on a note of collective appreciation and joy. 10. Every bite supports the future of hospitality. Perhaps the most meaningful reason to attend SOBEWFF is its mission. One hundred percent of net proceeds benefit FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, and more than 1,500 students gain hands-on experience each year working alongside world-class chefs, winemakers, and brands. SOBEWFF is not just an event. It is a training ground, a scholarship engine, and a living classroom that ensures the next generation of hospitality leaders is ready to thrive. Few cities know how to host a spectacle the way Miami does. Its energy is visual, sonic, and social all at once. SOBEWFF harnesses that spirit and amplifies it through food, bringing together chefs, artists, brands, and audiences in settings that feel inseparable from the city itself. In 2026, the Festival’s expanded footprint and layered programming make Miami not just the location, but a co-star in the experience. SOBEWFF 2026 is not simply a food festival. It is a milestone moment, a destination experience, and a cultural event that captures Miami at its most vibrant. With tickets already on sale and more talent announcements still to come, this 25th anniversary promises to be one for the history books.

The Moulin Rouge of Paris, managed by Jean-Jacques Clerico (CEO), is a dazzling and spectacular universe, the symbol of the Parisian way of celebrating since 1889. Starting life as a popular cabaret and dance hall, the venue became an iconic music hall in the Roaring Twenties, and then a theater where numerous famous French and international artists stepped out into the limelight. Today, the Moulin Rouge and its 60 artists present the Féerie revue show: two hours of amazement between cabaret and music hall styles where dance scenes and surprise acts intersperse – without forgetting the Moulin Rouge’s most emblematic dance, the French Cancan! Since its creation, the Moulin Rouge of Paris has always been an invitation to live and share all the emotions and effervescence of a unique party extravaganza. http://www.moulinrouge.fr/ The Grammy-nominated Moulin Rouge!

The Politics Of Hate - Weaponized Discord Is The Deep State’s Most Effective Tool By John & Nisha Whitehead Feb 19, 2026 This Country Was Built On The Radical Idea That The Government Exists To Serve The People—Not To Control Them, Monitor Them, Manage Them, Or Rule Over Them. That idea is being systematically dismantled by a Deep State determined to entrench its power at our expense by keeping the nation divided, distracted, and perpetually at war with itself. This is what happens when those in power discover that a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united one—and that hate is not a byproduct of politics, but one of its most effective weapons. This nation is being destabilized by forces that masquerade as political movements, but dig down deep, and you’ll find that power and greed work the same no matter which party hat they wear. The “politics of hate” is a bipartisan tool. The division that is tearing this country apart is not an accident. It has been cultivated, weaponized, and exploited. As a result, life in America has become a gut-wrenching, soul-sucking, misery-drenched existence. “We the people” are being subjected to crackdowns, clampdowns, shutdowns, showdowns, shootdowns, standdowns, knockdowns, putdowns, breakdowns, lockdowns, takedowns, slowdowns, meltdowns, and never-ending letdowns. We’ve been held up, stripped down, faked out, photographed, frisked, fracked, hacked, tracked, cracked, intercepted, accessed, spied on, zapped, mapped, searched, shot at, tasered, tortured, tackled, trussed up, tricked, lied to, labeled, libeled, leered at, shoved aside, saddled with debt not of our own making, sold a bill of goods about national security, tuned out by those representing us, tossed aside, and taken to the cleaners. We’ve had our freedoms turned inside out, our democratic structure flipped upside down, and our house of cards left in a shambles. We’ve been locked down, shut in, fenced off, fined, cited, censored, silenced, surveilled, tracked, traced, coerced, mandated, ordered, threatened, and punished in the name of “public health,” with our rights treated not as inalienable, but as conditional privileges—granted, suspended, or revoked at the whim of governors, bureaucrats, and unelected officials. We’ve been told that as citizens we have no rights within 100 miles of our own border. Now those “Constitution-free zones” have expanded far beyond the nation’s borders, as federal agents stop, question, detain, raid, and surveil Americans in a profit-driven quest to fill quotas and establish a “papers please” society. We’ve seen the police transformed from community peacekeepers to point guards for the militarized corporate state. We’ve been pushed around, prodded, poked, pried at, spied on, scanned, shot and intimidated by the very individuals—police—hired to safeguard our rights. We’ve been sodomized, victimized, jeopardized, demoralized, traumatized, stigmatized, vandalized, demonized, polarized and terrorized, often without having done anything to justify such treatment. Blame it on a government mindset that renders us guilty before we’ve even been charged, let alone convicted, of any wrongdoing. We’ve been railroaded into believing that our votes count, that we live in a democracy, that elections make a difference, that it matters whether we vote Republican or Democrat, and that our elected officials are looking out for our best interests. Truth be told, we live in an oligarchy. We’ve gone from having privacy in our inner sanctums to having nowhere to hide, with wearable devices and biometric trackers monitoring our bodies, apps logging our movements and interactions, homes that spy on us through smart meters, cameras, and remotely controlled systems, and cars that listen to our conversations and track our whereabouts. Even our cities have become wall-to-wall electronic concentration camps, with license-plate readers, facial recognition systems, and high-definition cameras recording everything that takes place within city limits. We’ve been rendered enemy combatants in our own country, denied basic due process rights, held against our will without access to an attorney or being charged with a crime, and left to molder in jail until such a time as the government is willing to let us go or allow us to defend ourselves. We’ve seen families ripped apart by militarized ICE raids, homes entered without judicial warrants, asylum seekers caged, long-time residents disappeared into detention centers, and entire communities terrorized by quota-driven enforcement schemes that trample due process and treat human beings as collateral damage. We’ve been silenced, censored and forced to conform, shut up in free speech zones, gagged by hate crime laws, stifled by political correctness, muzzled by misguided anti-bullying statutes, and pepper sprayed for taking part in peaceful protests. We’ve had our tax dollars burned on no-bid emergency contracts, bloated surveillance programs, militarized policing grants, mass detention facilities, endless foreign wars, and government handouts to private corporations tasked with censoring speech, tracking behavior, enforcing mandates, and building databases on the American people—while roads crumble, schools fail, and basic needs go unmet. We are no longer just being governed. In many parts of the country, we are being occupied—by our own government. American cities are increasingly treated as hostile territory—patrolled by National Guard units, federalized police forces, and armed immigration agents operating with military tactics, military equipment, and military rules of engagement. At the same time, the country has seen the quiet expansion of vast warehouse-style detention centers—human storage facilities designed to make so-called “undesirables” disappear. Are you exhausted yet? You should be. More than exhausted, however, you should be outraged at what has been done to our country. I’m outraged at what has been done to our freedoms. This is not a culture war. It is not a partisan feud. It is not a battle between left and right, red and blue, believer and nonbeliever. It is a power struggle between a ruling class that governs through fear, division, and exhaustion—and a people whose greatest strength lies not in violence, but in solidarity. We do not have to agree on politics to see what is happening. We only have to decide whether to continue playing a role in our own manipulation. America will not be saved by rage. As I make clear in Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, America will be saved—if it is saved at all—by people who refuse to play by the Deep State’s rules. Demand instead that the government play by our rules—the rules of the Constitution. And when those in power fail to do so, when they trample over the rule of the law and disregard the contract that holds them accountable, boot every last one of them out— peacefully, lawfully, and without exception.
