This weekend is the Mardi Gras parade.

If you plan on going, please get over to the island early. Parade veterans start setting up chairs sometimes as early as the night before, but definitely are there by 9 a.m. with their morning coffee.

The zoning board has denied a request for a new RV park on a 20-acre parcel east of Milton, citing environmental concerns.

People seem surprised when I show up at meetings. I’m on the board of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation and have been on the board for more than 10 years.

When I walked in yesterday, they seemed surprised. They thought I wouldn’t be able to make it with the addition of two new papers.

Surprise! We have two more newspapers and communities to work with every week. It has been a whirlwind and still is.

Someone sent me an email and said, ‘Yay! When can we celebrate?’ I replied with a long list of what I had on my plate and said that me accomplishing that list was all the celebrating I could do right now.

Full disclosure – our editor, Wendy Rudman, is helping me with this week’s column because I’ve been busy with some very important projects that I hope to share with you next week or the first paper of the new year.

When Bob Dole died this past week, it reminded me of the Emerald Coast Honor Flights. They were the brainchild of a local panhandle physician assistant and our then U.S. Congressman, Jeff Miller, R-Chu­muckla.

The first Honor Flight took place in May 2005 and flew 103 local veterans to the newly opened and dedicated National WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.

This weekend is the official start to Christmas in Navarre. Saturday morning there is a Jingle Bell Run/Walk that begins at 8 a.m. at the Navarre Fire Station – with a shortcut to Grandma’s house.

Where the goodies are. If you haven’t registered at this point – you might be out of luck for this year’s shirt, but a previous year’s shirt will be just as festive.
