Good morning, Clermont.

Central Florida Dreamplex launched the 'Fuel the Future' campaign to help children and adults with disabilities get therapy, sports, and education at its Clermont and Orlando centers—donations will grow these programs to serve more families.

The nonprofit relies on community support to remove financial barriers and keep life-changing services available.

Clermont will light up its dazzling Christmas tree Friday, December 5 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at City Hall Park as Mayor Murry and special guest Noah Lyles flip the switch with a free shuttle service available to ease parking, and the festivities continue with the Christmas of Champions Parade on December 6 at 10:00 a.m. and the Enchanted Forest of Trees open from November 22 to January 2—offering live music, local vendors and family fun for all ages—which will add extra joy to the holiday season.

Clermont’s firefighters and police will escort Santa on his holiday tour on December 20 and 21 as he visits designated parks for photos and meet-and-greets.

The event will ensure first responders remain ready to serve the community — a tradition that spreads festive cheer while keeping safety a priority.
