Last summer, our Preserve Navarre nonprofit launched an online survey at www.YourNavarre.com.

Tired of the same ol’ holiday traditions? Try something new instead
The table was set with Gangie’s famous potato salad, squash casserole, pecan pie and all the fixin’s.

The armistice took effect on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at eleven o’clock in the morning, and President Eisenhower wanted a celebration of all veterans — […]
