"Boca Raton's Night Market Series: Supporting Local Businesses and Providing a Vibrant Atmosphere for Residents and Visitors"

Boca Raton's annual Night Market Series will kick off on Thursday at Sanborn Square, featuring over 20 local vendors offering a variety of food, drinks, and crafts.

The event will run from October to April, with different vendors each month.

Some of the vendors include Beachy Keen Crafts, Sweet Blessings Cupcakes, and Sucre Blue desserts.

Organized by the Downtown Boca Raton Improvement District, the night market aims to support local businesses and provide a fun and vibrant atmosphere for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The city of Boca Raton has awarded a contract for the construction of a new playground at Lake Wyman Park.

The project aims to enhance the park's amenities and provide a safe and enjoyable space for families and children to play.

The playground will feature new equipment, interactive elements, and landscaping to create a fun and inviting atmosphere.

Construction is set to begin soon, with plans for the playground to be completed and open to the public in the near future.

Boca Raton is set to start the design process for the underpass project at Spanish River Boulevard.

The underpass will improve traffic flow by allowing traffic to flow smoothly without delays caused by passing trains.

The project aims to enhance safety and reduce congestion by creating a direct route under the railroad tracks.

Once completed, the underpass will provide a more efficient transportation system for residents and visitors in the area.

The city is currently working on the initial design phase of the project before moving forward with construction plans.

The developer believes that there is a growing demand for rental properties in the area.

🌿 Outdoor & Living Survival

Basic Knife Safety and Maintenance for Outdoor Activities

Whether camping, trekking, or performing outdoor survival tasks, a knife is one of the most essential tools you can carry.

Proper handling and maintenance not only extend its lifespan but also ensure your safety and efficiency in the wild.

Proper Handling: Always cut away from your body and keep your fingers clear of the blade's path.

Never hand a knife blade-first — offer the handle instead.
Storage: Use a sheath or blade cover when not in use.

Avoid tossing knives into backpacks unprotected to prevent accidents or dulling.
Maintenance: Wipe your knife dry after use, especially if exposed to moisture or food.

Regularly oil the blade and pivot points to prevent rust and corrosion.
Sharpening: A sharp knife is safer than a dull one.

Use a sharpening stone or honing rod at a consistent 20° angle for most outdoor knives.
Cleaning: Avoid using dishwashers — hand wash and dry immediately.

For folding knives, clean joints and hinges with a brush and light lubricant.
Carrying Safely: Keep knives in an accessible but secure spot on your belt or gear.

Never run, climb, or perform sudden movements while holding a blade.

Tip: Practice knife handling in a controlled environment before relying on it outdoors.

Familiarity improves both confidence and safety.

⚠️ Safety: Always treat every knife as sharp and ready to cut.

Maintain awareness of your surroundings and never use your knife when tired or distracted.
