In 1870 a small, wooden church, beautiful in its simplicity, was constructed just off Old Holley Point road.

We like to support our local sports teams and the Blue Wahoos have added a lot of excitement to the baseball fans in the Panhandle of Florida. If you haven’t had the chance to go to a game, you should definitely try to attend a game, because after that – you will be hooked. A fun way to go to a game is with a group of people and it just so happens that the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce has a trip planned for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27. I think they made it a Tuesday night on purpose so that I couldn’t go. They know that is our production night. Anyway, it would be great if you could go. They are taking a shuttle to and from the game and/or you can meet them on the special party deck. The tickets include entry to the game and the deck, with all you can eat food and non-alcoholic beverages for 90 minutes (1.5 hours) after the chamber groups arrival. Please call the Chamber at 939-3267 if you are interested. Of course, it would be great if you were a chamber member regardless – but if you say “I’m a prospective chamber member” then I’m sure they wouldn’t bat and eye and take your money on the spot. This would be a great way to meet new friends and catch up with some old ones.
