Americans have recognized the importance of black history annually since 1926.  The month of February has activities to recognize how black history influenced the development of our nation, sponsored by the Inverness Black History Club, the Citrus County Chronicle and the City of Inverness.

Though we strive to have a clean city everyday, once a year the City of Inverness sponsors an annual Spring Cleanup Campaign in cooperation with Citrus County’s Keep Citrus County Beautiful Committee.  The City encourages local associations, clubs and concerned citizens to join us this day and organize neighbors to clean your street. If you can't spend the time, the city also takes donations of bottled water or refreshments for our workers.

Celebrate national Flag Day on June 14th, 7 pm at the Inverness Government Center, with local Veteran groups and the City of Inverness.  The evening event grows each year in the spirit of pride and patriotism.  Entertainment includes Color Guard displays, musical tributes and patriotic vocals.  Learn more about this years ceremony or see a pictoral display of  the 2009 Flag Day event to feel the ageless color and enthusiasm of this event.

The Chronicle Pines Tennis Tournament, held at Whispering Pines Park, is the longest running tennis tournament in Citrus County. The event is sponsored by the Citrus County Chronicle and the City of Inverness. This year's tournament gave the local middle school and high school players the opportunity to show their talents on the tennis courts.

Enjoy this patriotic parade down Main Street to honor our Veteran's.  A Memorial Service is held on the Old Courthouse lawn immediately following the parade.  Questions regarding the parade can be answered by calling the Citrus County Chronicle (352) 563-6363.
