Can you believe it’s already THE LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY?
Since this year we won’t have a leap day, we thought it was only appropriate to feature this cartwheel on the beach as Photo of the Day. This picture was taken by Monica Jackson Houchins of her playful granddaughter Elly.
Within the next year, the new Santa Rosa County courthouse is expected to be complete and by next summer, court should be in session. Construction is running smoothly – on time and on budget, according to county officials Friday morning.

Navarre head track coach Tony Carter watches as his athletes go through another practice on a weekday afternoon and he points to the potential this team of nearly 200 holds for this season.
“The kids are working hard and we have a lot of young talent,” Carter said. “We have some freshmen and sophomores who can make an impact this year and some seniors out for the sport for the first time that are impressive, too. I’m excited.”
Today is a good day Navarre because our high is officially in the 70s.
Who else is excited to see the sunshine come back?

Amira Marshall’s dream of competing at the 3A state girls weightlifting meet ended unexpectedly.
Navarre’s senior standout in the unlimited division had to quarantine before the district meet last month, ending all hope of returning to state and contending for a top three finish for the Raiders.
These 3 pelicans sure are happy the sun is shining and things are warming up on Navarre Beach.

Even with a second-place finish at the Northwest Florida Invitational last Wednesday afternoon at Baker, Navarre’s boys weightlifting team isn’t satisfied with the result.
This is a program that was the state runner-up in 2018 and won the state title in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic ended hopes of a repeat in 2020.
