October 26, 2026
Good morning, New Port Richey! It's Monday, October 26, and the day starts mostly sunny with a high of 82 and a low of 65, with highs in the low 80s all week and a stray shower possible late in the week. Today is National Pumpkin Day, so how many pumpkins are on your porch? J.W. Mitchell High School's Fall Festival on Wednesday evening is a local spot to find more fall fun.
In the news, the Pasco County Library System says its Customer Satisfaction Survey is in its final week, and a What's What column reminds readers that early voting runs through October 31. What's What also lists November garden events across Pasco County, and J.W. Mitchell High School's weekly call shares an early release on Wednesday, October 28.
Looking for something to do? The Purposeful Living Women networking group meets at Starkey Market this morning, and the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce hosts Business After Hours at Cool Wizard Air Conditioning on Wednesday evening. Breaking Bread BBQ and Sandy's Flavor Station are today's food trucks. Restaurant specials and live entertainment are empty today, so reply and tell us your favorite local restaurant. Save room for dinner and have a great Monday!

See What's Moving Before Wall Street Wakes Up
Most of us hear about a stock move after it happens — an earnings report, an AI contract, a sector suddenly running — and by the time the news reaches us, the opportunity is gone.
We created Elite Trade Club to fix that.
Each trading day, our team publishes a pre-market briefing built for active traders: stocks surging or collapsing before the open, key earnings that could move markets, under-the-radar companies gaining institutional attention, and the macro events worth watching today.
Fast, practical, straight to the point.
That's why 450,000+ traders rely on us every morning. Get the daily briefing free — no cost, no catch.
