The Rotary Club of Wakulla and the Wakulla Chapter of the Tallahassee Board of Realtors did a bed build on Saturday morning under the auspices of Sleep in Heavenly Peace and built 20 bunk beds for Wakulla kids who don’t have beds.
(Full disclosure: I am the president of the Rotary Club this year.)

Despite inclement weather, the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office held its annual Christmas in the Park on Friday night, and Santa and Mrs. Claus came in from the North Pole for a special visit.
