We will forward this event to next year as part of our celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. Tickets purchased and paid model sponsorships will be refunded. We will keep you informed of the new date for the event.
  2. Our public programs begin on September 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Wakulla County Public Library with a presentation about Florida Supreme Court Justice B.K. Roberts, a Sopchoppy native.
