Devin Wright was 12 the day he walked into the Navarre Press office on a summer morning with his mom to talk about his experience at the Ripken Futures Game in Baltimore.
Some days, it seems like that interview took place just yesterday.
As many of our readers know, Sandpaper Publishing, the parent company of Navarre Press, purchased two additional community newspapers in January: Santa Rosa’s Press Gazette and Crestview News Bulletin.
When we are talking about our expansion, a common response is – are you crazy? Maybe, a little.
I see where in the Navarre Press of 1/20-26/2022 the Santa Rosa County “Zoning Board” is doing what the (Censored) in the “South Santa Rosa (Navarre) County want to do.
In effect they are “Killing the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg.”
Good news! Aldi will be providing inserts/advertising to our readers.
They are planning on opening in March. Between Aldi, Publix and Winn Dixie advertisements in Navarre Press, you will have all the information you need to shop in Navarre.
For Christmas this year, I got some of the most wonderful gifts of all – feedback from readers that they love Navarre Press and appreciate our role in the community.
A few people went out of their way to send us this gift. Others mentioned it when they were making sure their subscriptions didn’t expire.
Second grade students from Holley-Navarre Primary School took some time to share what they like most about Christmas. Students were asked to draw and write some of their favorite parts of celebrating Christmas. Navarre Press chose to retain the original spelling from each student’s entry to ensure extra holiday cuteness.
Just in time for the holidays, readers helped Navarre Press reach its goal of helping one Santa Rosa County veteran get a Healing Paws for Warriors dog in 2022.
The dogs, which are mostly rescues, are trained to support veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury or other emotional and mental trauma.
