Good morning, Clermont.

The Kiwanis Club of Clermont will host its 3rd Annual Taco Fundraiser on July 19 from 12 pm to 2 pm at Green Valley Country Club to benefit the Friendship Aktion Club at DreamPlex of Central Florida and The Miracle League of Lake County—both supporting the special needs community.

Dr. Steve Asman, a local family doctor and researcher, spoke at the Clermont Historical Society’s June meeting about his finds at Lake Louisa including a 3,400-year-old canoe and a World War II plane propeller discovered during a 2000 drought.

He also introduced his new book on these discoveries and encouraged residents to learn more about local history at the Historic Village—open weekends.

Today is the first day of summer in Clermont, and highs will feel like triple digits with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected this afternoon and evening.

Rain chances will drop this weekend—giving residents a drier start to the new workweek.
