Good morning, Naples.
🏘️ Community
The 49th Annual Collier County Fair opened yesterday at the Collier County Fairgrounds and will run through March 30.
The event draws nearly 90,000 visitors, features 30 rides including seven high-thrill rides, and nearly 100 vendors offer food and games (free parking is available and clear bags are required).
🏛️ Government
The FDOT announced that Beck Boulevard at Collier Boulevard will be closed nightly from 9:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Sunday, March 23 through Friday, April 4 for traffic signal work and to begin bridge construction for the northbound I-75 entrance.

📰 Lifestyle
Andrew West, an award winning photographer from the Naples Daily News and The News-Press, offers tips for capturing vivid Southwest Florida sunset photos by advising visitors to scout locations early and underexpose their shots for richer colors.
He recommends using a clear foreground element such as a pier to add depth and cautions about looking directly at the sun—steps that help capture the best twilight images during peak tourist season.
📰 Real Estate
An Italian estate inspired by Tuscan design in Mediterra sold for a record $13.25 million, making it the highest-priced home in the luxury community.
Built in 2017 by London Bay Homes, the property sits on nearly two private acres beside a 50-acre preserve and features resort amenities such as a pool with mosaic tiles and a spa for 14 — setting a new benchmark for high-end living.
