Navarre is 100 years old this year, 2025, and Navarre Press turns 25 years old in May of this year. We wish we had been here to record the entire 100 years or more of history. However, we have the next best thing. When we purchased the Santa Rosa Press Gazette, we also acquired the archives of the Milton Gazette which has been around since 1910. That is a lot of history. A huge part of our job is to preserve local history. Each issue is a snapshot into the life of our community. Today’s news is tomorrow’s history. We record celebrations, challenges, and the everyday events that shape our collective identity.

Every week Sandpaper Publishing, which includes Navarre Press, Santa Rosa Press Gazette, and the Crestview News Bulletin and Sandpaper Marketing have a meeting. There are sometimes up to 17 of us meeting from all over Northwest Florida. Part of that meeting includes shout outs to team members that went over and above. It is awesome to hear the team give each other well-deserved kudos. I’ve noticed quite a few selfless and thoughtful displays of awesomeness while out and about in our awesome community and I’m going to highlight a few of them this week. I’d like to do this more often and we are going to start “Shout Outs” that will be featured each week in the paper…and I decided that while typing this column. I know our awesome team will be able to pull this off by the time you read this column and by the time my column is written today (Monday,) there will be a QR Code at the end of the column that will direct you to a page on our website – just for “Shout-Outs.” This is specifically for good awesome displays of great customer service and just being a great citizen of our community.
