Fourth of July at Navarre Beach was the most patriotic event I can remember in my years in Navarre. The Navarre Beach Fourth of July Hometown Celebration and Children’s Parade was pure magic with more than 100 children participating in the parade. They decorated tricycles, bicycles, batons, children and even a little front-end loader and paraded around the parking lot led by the Cat Country 98.7 Cat and Jenna Scott to patriotic tunes compliments of Systems of Sound (Bob Levison).
The Navarre Beach Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Hometown 4th of July parade and celebration. The fun starts at 6 p.m. with a children’s parade. Live entertainment will start at 7:30 p.m. and fireworks at 9 p.m. Visit www.navarrechamber.com for more information.

Moms – this is a great way to get a break during the summer. Your children will be occupied in a safe environment learning good values and you can go grocery shopping and maybe even take a trip to the beach! When my children were younger – I had every VBS for the entire summer on my calendar. And, my children had an awesome time and learned a lot of cool crafts. I learned how to do this during the summer from my mom.
