Also The Freedom Jam concert is February 14th at the Sopchoppy Auditorium. So many cool events headed our way!
The weather warmed up a little. It was awesome! Comfortable and beautiful! annnnd then it’s freezing cold….
The New Year is here and I’m excited about what it may bring!
The Sopchoppy Community Market will not be held in January or February. There will be a short winter break and then the market will resume in March at Depot Park in downtown Sopchoppy.
When it returns, you can once again enjoy a wonderful selection of homemade and homegrown treasures, support local vendors, and gather with friends and neighbors at Sopchoppy Depot Park, 33 Rose Street.
The Community Market is proudly hosted by Discover Sopchoppy, and they look forward to welcoming everyone back this spring.
Loafers Bench closed. They put out a message saying it was closing temporarily. I already miss the turkey and bacon sandwich.
Sopchoppy BakeHouse has awesome quiche and amazing sweets. They are getting ready to serve espresso coffee and I’m super excited about that.
Sopchoppy Feed Store has all kinds of feed. They also carry local honey, chickens and other cool stuff like my Yella Fly shirts.
I saw online a new honor system bakery has come to town…. check out Essentials with Love at 8183 Smith Creek Road. Check online for hours and menu. It looks really cool!
I noticed the historic Sopchoppy gym has a new roof. It looks awesome. I just love the historic school and property. That is our history and part of our local charm.
I took a walk today and the weather was amazing. It has been really cold lately so it was good to feel some warmer weather. It was a beautiful day In Sopchoppy. I ran into a neighbor and they gave me a locally grown orange. It was absolutely delicious.
My Facebook has been doing really well. It’s Corey Benedict on Facebook. I enjoy posting nature and our local history. It is growing fast.
I really enjoy seeing the undocumented history in the comments. I love when people comment personal experiences and stories in the comments. We all learn so much. It’s very entertaining.
If you drive in Sopchoppy or through Sopchoppy please stop at the stop signs. Please drive slow in the city. We have children, pets, golf carts, bicycles and skateboards cruising around. Thanks!
It’s going to be a great year! I’m thankful for many blessings. We are very blessed. I’m working on a song about our beautiful town with a six-time Grammy nominated producer. I’m super excited about this song.
Sopchoppy is a special place. It must be respected and protected. I have seen what too much growth can do and it’s not pretty.
I love easy living. I love the small town charm. Don’t try to change that. If you want something different they have that in other areas. We love our small town charm.
The real Sopchoppy!
