7/18/2026 – Vandals broke off the top half of the Lake Asbury entrance sign at the Thomas St. and Henley intersection. They also hit the sign with a three-quarter inch pipe into the face of the sign on the South side. The situation was reported to CCSO. A sign has been repaired and reinforced.
School is back in session so please watch out for Children traveling by foot or bicycle on our streets to school. The school zone signs on Henley have been changed and now do not show a speed limit associated with them. The Sheriff’s Office says that the section of Henley between the two School Crossing signs is 45 mph as indicated on the signs along the street Even when the light is flashing, because the area has been designated a school crossing and not a school zone now.

Let’s Shop, Eat and Support Our Neighbors!
Lake Asbury is fortunate to have so many local businesses, small entrepreneurs, and unique treasures right here in our own backyard. When we can, let’s support our neighbors and buy local, eat local and shop local! Here are a few places worth checking out:
Circle K
If you’re out and about in the morning, you’ve probably seen familiar Lake Asbury faces stopping by Circle K for that first cup of coffee and a little conversation. It’s one of those places where neighbors often run into neighbors!
Dalton’s Sports Grill
This family-owned and operated restaurant has become a popular gathering spot, serving wings, burgers and sandwiches. If you’ve driven by on a weekend, you’ve probably noticed the full parking lot! And since we’re a golf-cart-friendly community, don’t be surprised to see a few golf carts mixed in with the pickups.
Sweet Hydrangea Boutique & Maker’s Market
Located in the Winn Dixie shopping center and owned by a Lake Asbury resident, Sweet Hydrangea features local artisans, handmade gifts, seasonal and everyday home décor, lotions, jewelry, apparel and other unique finds. When you shop Sweet Hydrangea, you’ll find things you can’t find just anywhere.
Honey Farms
Have a sweet tooth or simply enjoy locally produced honey? An adorable honey bear makes a great addition to your kitchen table or a sweet gift for a friend. Our community is lucky to have two honey farms.
Buzzin’ Bee Honey Farm is a familiar face at the Lake Asbury Neighborhood Market, held the second weekend of each month and recently hosted at Lake Asbury Baptist Church on Henley Road.
Booth Bees is new to our neighborhood and welcomes your purchase of his bees’ sweet honey. Text Mike at 904-576-8781, and he’ll connect with you when he gets a break from his regular job.
Produce
You don’t have to leave Lake Asbury to find fresh produce. Head to 186 Branscomb Rd., where The Happy Hen is open most Saturdays and Sundays, offering a variety of fresh produce, often jelly and occasionally fresh bread. It’s just a short walk or golf cart ride from almost anywhere in the neighborhood and worth the trip!
Free Community Libraries
Has your reading material been sitting around a little too long? Look for the Little Free Libraries at 147 Johns Road and 837 Branscomb Road. Bring along a finished book and swap it for something new. It’s a simple way to share books, discover a new favorite and keep the pages turning throughout our community!
Flowers
What could be more inviting than a colorful roadside garden with a U-Pick sign? At 780 Lake Asbury Drive, you’ll find just that! Pick something to brighten your home or simply stop and enjoy the flowers at this charming neighborhood find.
Sweet Treats
For a sweet stop, check out K-Pop’s Self-Serve Cake Pop Cart at 532 Arthur Moore. On Saturdays, the cart and tent are stocked with flavors like red velvet, chocolate, vanilla and more — the sweetest stop on the block!
Kookies N Desserts is another local sweet treat maker offering cookies, fruits, candies and more. Reach out on Facebook to place an order!
And this is just the beginning! There are many more local businesses and homegrown entrepreneurs right here in and around Lake Asbury. If you know of a local business, roadside stand, craftsperson or neighborhood entrepreneur we should spotlight in a future issue of The Lakelighter, let us know!
Let’s continue to support the people who live, work and invest in our community. When we shop local, we help our neighbors—and our whole community benefits!
