Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Tuesday, and another cloudy day is rolling over the Tampa Bay-area. With rain likely along the coast, it may not be the best beach day, but there are plenty of ways to stay busy indoors. Still riding the Tampa pride after a weekend of football wins? Head to Armature Works for a hands-on workshop where you can make your own Tampa Bay–inspired candle. Not into sports? No worries, it's never too early for spooky season, so take advantage of the chance to craft a Halloween-themed candle instead. Either way, you’ll head home with a cozy reminder that rainy days don’t have to be boring.
