History around Florida.

Who remembers Six Gun Territory?
Well we did a History piece on the Ghosts of a Florida Frontier. Staged Wild West shoot outs fun for the whole family! Six Gun Territory, once a dusty roadside attraction near Silver Springs, still fires imaginations decades after its final gunfight. The attraction blended showmanship and nostalgia, leaving a legacy that lingers today.

"Imagine visiting a TV Western show, with gunfights, come to life. That was the genius of the long-disappeared theme park Six Gun Territory of Silver Springs, near Ocala. Back in the summer of 1975, as a 10-year-old, I visited the park. By that time, it was already a dusty and tired roadside attraction, except for the moment when the road turned into an actual street battle between bank robbers and a sheriff. As I can best recall, some poor guy had to fall off a roof into a horse wagon, and another fellow got shot right there in the street, only to recover after playing dead for a few moments.
While Six Gun Territory only existed for about two decades, the park is still so much a legend that its retired gunfighters, and other memories, live on in nearby Williston, where they hold a Six Gun Territory Wild West Weekend festival at the Kirby Family Farm twice a year. The festival includes gunfights, can-can dancers, historic train rides, robberies and memorabilia from the park, which operated from 1963 to 1984. " written by Garland Pollard.

Garland and one other staff member, Caroline visited in their childhood. I wonder if anyone else has old timey photos of this roadside attraction?
Please share if you do.

Fiber, Reconsidered: Why This Overlooked Nutrient Deserves a Closer Look

"For years, protein has held the spotlight in conversations about nutrition. It shows up in headlines, on packaging and across social media feeds, often framed as the key to energy, strength and overall health.
But while attention has shifted toward protein, another essential nutrient has quietly taken a back seat: fiber.
It’s not new or trendy, and it doesn’t come with the same marketing appeal. Yet fiber plays a central role in how the body functions day to day, particularly when it comes to digestion, metabolism and the health of the gut microbiome."
