COMMUNITY
Buckhorn News
By ETHEL SKIPPER
Another door closed in our comunity – a shock to many of the older people who depended on Sopchoppy IGA store.
You would always feel right at home when you walked in the door. There was someone there to help you. When you finished shopping, your food was always carried to your vehicle.
I was in the store a few days ago and there were a couple of people stopped in and said they were visiting all the parks in Florida. They wanted to know where the next closest IGA. The people were so warm and kind.
I know many of the old-timers like myself will feel like we have lost a part of the community. We have always had a grocery store.
Our blessings and wishes for good luck go out to Dewayne and Beth and their family and workers for serving the people for more than 30 years. They said they would miss the customers – they were like family.
One thing I liked about the Sopchoppy Grocery was Mr. Dewayne made everyone feel special.
When I would call and ask for special packages of meat, he was always happy to do it.
St. John Primitive Baptist Church in Medart holds church services the first and third Sunday at 11 a.m.

Everyone is welcome.
We wish a happy birthday to Damashiai Kendrick and Kayden Washington on March 13.
Our prayers and concern goes out to all the sick and shut-in, those in hospitals, nursing homes, prison, the homeless – all in need of prayer everywhere.
