About Broward County, FL

Come on out on Saturday, March 13, 2010 to the Fort Lauderdale St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. So, what can you expect if you go? Well.....

"Dia dhuit," or Hello! to all Irish and yes, that includes you! According to the U.S. Census, at least 34 million Americans have Irish ancestry. And even if you aren't of Irish descent, all can enjoy the culture, history, food and fun of a St. Patrick's Day celebration.

For the first time in 17 years, the City of Fort Lauderdale and the Downtown Development Authority are proudly sponsoring the Fort Lauderdale St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. This family friendly celebration of all things Irish will take place on Saturday, March 13, 2010 and will be free and open to the public.

Get on your green and plan now to enjoy the fun as Fort Lauderdale transforms into a sea of color and music. The festival, which runs from 11:30am to 9 pm at Huizenga Plaza and along the Riverwalk, will include cultural games and events including sheep herding, currach racing and hurling, and continuous live music, entertainment, and dance performances. The children's area will feature games, storytelling, amusements, delicious treats, contests and other activities. Additional festival highlights include historical education and ancestry areas, trivia, cooking demonstrations, authentic Irish cuisine and more!

And, if you feel up to participating, they are looking for volunteers to help in any way - from walking in the parade, building a float, be a performance group. Similarly, if you or your company would like to donate to help cover some of the costs, they are looking for that as well - more information on all of that, and more, can be found here!

So, feel the "luck of the Irish", come on out on March 13, and enjoy a tradition that should live in your hearts - forever!

The Denali, featuring 5 bedrooms (or 4 Bedrooms & Bonus Room), 4 full baths and a 3-Car garage is a very popular model at Centerline Homes' Parkland Reserve community.

For the past 17 years Centerline Homes has set The Gold Standard for building excellence. Today, more than 130 families have chosen Centerline's newest community, Parkland Reserve, as their new home. Parkland Reserve is an outstanding example of Centerline's principles of finding a great location, designing spacious and exciting floor plans, and then building homes with quality construction and unsurpassed value. Superior customer care ensures complete buyer satisfaction throughout the entire buying experience.

At Parkland Reserve, beautifully situated in one of South Florida's premier locations, buyers have recognized the outstanding values in these exceptionally designed 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom single-family homes. A total of five new floor plans are available, featuring one and two-story designs. This outstanding neighborhood is close to shopping, parks and top-rated schools. The Sawgrass Expressway, located 2 miles south of Parkland Reserve provides commuters easy access to any destination.

"Buyers love Parkland Reserve" stated Deb Marton, Vice President of Sales for Centerline Homes. "The Parkland location and pricing from $354,900 have proven very popular with buyers who recognize an incredible value".

"The Denali floor plan is one of our most popular homes because it offers so much living space. Home buyers really like the oversized dining room adjacent to the kitchen and butler's pantry making it easy to entertain for any occasion," explains Marton. "On the second floor we offer a special bonus room, or 5th bedroom, which can also be converted into a fifth bedroom. Most Denali buyers have been envisioning an ideal play area or gathering spot for the kids."

The "Gold Standard" features of the Denali model are evident around every turn. Including a 3-car garage, The Denali offers over 3,300 square feet of living area. The formal living and dining room greet visitors with their spacious size and elegant proportions. The heart of this home is the large kitchen and family room. Located towards the rear of the home, to maximize indoor/outdoor living, this area was designed for everyday family gatherings. The kitchen features a "Peninsula" design with a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. The Denali's kitchen also features an adjacent breakfast area and enough counter space to satisfy even a gourmet chef. The fully-equipped laundry room is steps away from the kitchen, to accommodate today's busy multi-tasking homemaker. The luxurious master suite, also oriented to the rear of the home is located on the second floor. This sumptuous retreat features a coffered ceiling, two enormous walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath complete with a Roman-style soaking tub and separate stall shower. His-and-her vanities, and a linen closet, make this bath as functional as it is beautiful. Three additional bedrooms, share two full baths. The fifth bedroom, featuring over 230 square feet, can be utilized as a second master suite or family bonus room. This room's size makes it ideal for an in-law who desires privacy, or a pool table and big screen TV if used as a bonus room.

Every Parkland Reserve home comes complete with Centerline Homes' exceptional value. The included features are as exciting as the designs. Kitchens feature granite counter tops and maple cabinetry with 42" upper cabinets. A whirlpool appliance package, including washer & dryer, is also an included feature at Parkland Reserve. Also standard are impact-resistant windows and doors, concrete "S"-style roofs and brick paver driveways, walkways and covered rear patios.

We are so excited that South Florida was chosen to be the hosting city for the Super Bowl 2010. It is not just about the game and Sun Life Stadium, its about a week of activities that lead to that one game. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are hosting many activities that require tickets or invitations. I found a FREE activity that I want to share with you.

Begin by going to South Beach to enjoy the wonderful weather. The street is closed and people can just walk, enjoy the delicious restaurants and feel the heat. Everyone is here, so go to see and be seen.

Saturday night at 6 pm there will be a FREE concert in Fort Lauderdale beach. Get there beginning 4 pm to take advantage of getting a good spot. It's called the NFL Saturday night free event in Fort Lauderdale.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale are only 30 minutes away. You can enjoy activities on both counties and have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend.

Have a great time and come back to South Florida.
