This Saturday morning is the 2015 Health & Business Expo at the Navarre Conference Center. There will be local health agencies and businesses that will offer many free health screenings. It is a great opportunity to meet doctors and health professionals in the area. Woodlands Medical Specialists will offer free flu shots to the first 25 attendees. There will also be door prizes and a chance to win a 40” LED Smart TV. Check out the Navarre Beach Chamber’s ad for more details. There will also be a blood mobile at the Health Expo. I’ve been saving my blood – for that very purpose.
The Holley-Navarre Water Board election is from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., this Tuesday, Jan. 20. If you are going to turn in your proxy, you need to do so by 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16. The water board proxies are very frustrating – and we write about them every year. The proxies list the current board members and then have a nebulous space that says “other member.” That is the space where you write down a name of someone other than a board member to vote on your behalf.
Congrats to our Pigskin Pickin’ and Prognosticatin’ panel winner – and newcomer – Brian Brinsfield. Navarre Press would like to thank all the entire 2014-15 Pigskin Pickin’ and Prognosticatin’ panel for their good sportsmanship and their dedication throughout the season.
Last-minute holiday gift givers – we have the solution. If you can find someone without a subscription to Navarre Press – buy them one. We have a three-year deal that can be split up into three different subscriptions – or just give yourself two more years – and a friend one year. We will send them the bill next year – unless you tell us otherwise.
The Pensacola Little Theatre kicks off “Snow Queen” this weekend. If you are an all-access subscriber, we have tickets available. If you aren’t an all access subscriber, we can help you with that. If you are a regular subscriber and would like to have access to theater tickets, ice hockey tickets, concert tickets, symphony and opera tickets, you can upgrade to “All Access” and the remaining time on your basic subscription will automatically become “All Access.”
The countdown to Christmas has begun. Once again – it snuck up on me. No matter how much I am determined for Christmas to not catch me unprepared it does – except for the year we went out of town for two weeks during Christmas. I was prepared for that one – especially because the trip itself was the only gift we gave that year.
The Navarre Garden Club will host Santa’s Workshop craft fair at the Navarre Conference Center this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be art, crafts, gifts and baked goods.
People are predictable. When they have something to hide, they immediately start to withhold information. If people lived their lives in such a way that they didn’t have to look over their shoulders – then they wouldn’t have to worry about what people know and don’t know. And, if people who know there are secretive things going on would bring it to light – then justice can be served. And justice is a good thing.
