The Wakulla Sun celebrates 4th anniversary

Posted onAuthorStaff Report

Join us for a celebration on Thursday, Feb. 19 at the newspaper from 5:30 to 7: 30 p.m.

Four years ago, Feb. 22, 2022, the first issue of The Wakulla Sun hit the streets. (That issue was dated Feb. 24, but still…)
Join us on Thursday, Feb. 19, as we celebrate that milestone at our office from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
In conjunction with the Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce and its After Hours Networking events, the newspaper will host the event with lots of food and drink, and socializing and fun.
The Sun office is located at 12 Arran Road in Crawfordville – on the courthouse square. It’s the building with the awnings on the northside of the courthouse.

  • A Public Notice that appeared in last week’s newpaper on Page 3 was the wrong advertisement and was submitted by county government in error.
    The ad was supposed to be about Dangerous Dogs and the Animal Control Appeal Board that will be on the county commission agenda at their meeting on Dec. 8.
    The ad that mistakenly ran was about a vote on the county charter that was held in March 2020.
    The corrrect Public Notice appeared the Tallahassee Democrat issue on Nov. 28.

  • Last week’s front page story on the county commission meeting that included a brief on the amount of funding for Florida Wild Mammal Association gave the wrong amount. The commission voted 4-1 to give $8,500 to the group which cares for injured and orphaned animals.
    • The On the Horizon calendar gave the wrong time for the county commission meetings. The meeting time for county commission meetings has been changed to 6 p.m. as of November.
    We regret the errors.
