KITES ON THE COAST 🪁

📆 SAVE THE DATE: 14-16 Mar

Imagine the beach sky, a giant canvas of blue, suddenly transformed into a colorful dance floor—except instead of humans, it's kites doing the cha-cha. This weekend Pensacola Beach skies will be scattered with dancing kites. Look for demonstrations, food trucks and kite fliers! This fundraiser serves Pensacola’s Council on Aging serving local seniors and sponsored by Gulf Coast Credit Union.

• Kids’ Activities

• Food Trucks

NOT TOO EARLY FOR THE EASTER BUNNY 🐇

📆 SAVE THE DATE: 4 Apr

It may seem a little early to be thinking about the Easter Bunny & Easter Egg Hunt’s and Reese’s Peanut butter Easter Eggs but if you want a spot at the Cordova Mall photoshoot you might want to hop to it and reserve your place today! The Easter Bunny will be at Cordova Mall for only one day taking professional photos. Book your Bunny! Pricing for the phot packages can be found online, too.

WAY TO GO UWF’S SPEECH & DEBATE TEAM 🎤

Love a good argument? I hear It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it. UWF’s Speech and Debate team loves to debate a challenging idea and also defend their own. This time they were heard loud and clear! They brought home multiple state titles from the FL Intercollegiate Forensic Association State Championship. Way to go ARGO’s!
