Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Celebrates Reunion

This is as Norman Rockwell as it gets folks, closing off an Interstate Highway 98
to traffic for an hour whilst dignified veterans are proudly paraded in military jeeps to take in deserved applause from grateful citizens. Even a German POW who used to run the prison bakery comes annually. Tanks and amphibious vehicles, sea vessels.  Even a staged landing at Carrabelle Beach. Charming high school marching bands, excellent military bands - vintage vehicles. Costumed folks as the Procession of the Species  and Fishy Fashions...the fabulous biker color guard lines the sides of the route. SMALL TOWN FUN, NOT TO BE MISSED!! Also,  the Carrabelle Artist's Association 
COASTAL ART TOUR 9am - 4pm
11 STUDIOS WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
 including Yours Truly (ME) at 510 HWY 98)
From watercolor to bronze castings from realism to surrealism,
there's some very talented folks living in this neck of the woods.
