TV Fox 35 may help you get at least 30 seconds of fame thanks to the Fox Box, a self-contained video recording studio that allows participants to sound off on any topic, from something political to telling a joke or singing a song. Video from the Fox Boxes, which are located at Universal Cineplex at CityWalk and the Borders Bookstore in the Winter Park Village, is transferred back to the TV station where it is edited and aired on Fox 35 News at Ten and other station programming. A version of the Fox Box, called the Speaker's Corner in Toronto, actually gave the pop group Bare Naked Ladies their start. The Edge of Extinction is the new exhibit at the Florida Museum. The exhibit tells the full story of manatees from the beginning 50 million years ago to its subsequent spread around the world to its precarious existence today.
Admission is free to the exhibit which features interactive displays, models, skeletons and more.
The museum is located on the University of Florida campus and is open daily. The exhibit continues through Jan. 14.
