Community rooted in faith grew from church

In 1870 a small, wooden church, beautiful in its simplicity, was constructed just off Old Holley Point road. The church remained in use until about 50 years ago, standing guard over the adjacent community cemetery for well over a century and weathering many storms until Hurricane Ivan caused it to collapse in 2004.

Out and About

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.
