Run With It in Fort Walton Beach is celebrating 10 years in business.  For those of you who may not know, Run With It started in Navarre at the Publix shopping plaza. They had an opportunity for more space and moved to downtown Fort Walton Beach and have kept growing. They are the best place to buy running or walking shoes and accessories. They also have awesome fitness clothes.  I bought a pair of running shoes there and my daughter took them – never to be seen again until it was time to replace them after several marathons. I still exercise in a pair of shoes that I bought there – when they were still in Navarre. However, I don’t run marathons – so they have lasted.  Run With It will celebrate their anniversary at the store on September 29th with sales, food and beverages.

If you like Beer and Germany – you are going to like Oct. 6 in Navarre. The festivities start at Juana’s/Sailors Grill on Navarre Beach with their sixth annual Oktoberfest. There will be beer tastings from beer distributors at different stations with music on the deck from noon until 4 p.m. Admission and a commemorative souvenir glass (while supplies last) is $25.  From 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. you can also witness anglers from the Navarre Fishing Rodeo bringing in their catch to be weighed.  All of this is a lot of fun. Then – you may want to call an Uber and make your way up Highway 87 to Ye Olde Brothers Brewery.
