Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring the service of African-American servicemembers in WWII. This exhibit will open Tuesday, February 3, 2026 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday, February 28, 2026. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET and there is no charge for admission.

African Americans served in large numbers during WWII despite being denied full rights as American citizens. They served in segregated units in both the Army and the Army Air Corps, one of the most recognizable being the Tuskegee Airmen. Many African American soldiers trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in transportation units such as Amphibious Truck Companies, where support units often worked close to combat and came under fire.

At Camp Gordon Johnston, these Amphibious Truck Companies trained in the use of the amphibious truck known as the DUKW, using the bay and sandy beaches in Carrabelle and all along the Forgotten Coast to practice operating, loading and unloading these truly amphibious vehicles. The Museum continues its research into the units that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle and served in World War II including being part of the campaign on Iwo Jima.

This exhibit will share what has been uncovered about these servicemen who, like many African Americans of the era, served their country with honor in a still-segregated military and faced significant challenges along the way.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

FALLON THEATRE

Bomont is about to get a wake-up call! Chicago teen Ren McCormack lands in a town where dancing is the devil's music. But this rebel with rhythm isn't about to stand still. Caught between a forbidden crush and a town full of "stick-in-the-muds," Ren's ready to kick off a revolution. With electrifying '80s hits and killer choreography, Footloose explodes onto the stage, proving that sometimes, the best way to fight the system is to cut loose!

FOOTLOOSE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com

Join us for an author meet & greet with Tana Jean Welch and Timothy Welch, a poetry-writing power couple.

Timothy’s poetry collection, Odd Bloom Seen from Space, is a whirlwind of allusions, intense intimacy, and heartbreak. In her collection In Parachutes Descending, Tana captures personal desires fermenting among current earthly cataclysms like climate change and global capitalism.

Triple R Horse Rescue invites the community to its 11th Annual “Have a Heart for Horses” Fundraiser & Gala on February 28 at The Homestead Barn in Monticello. This unforgettable evening features a breathtaking live performance by equestrian artist Sandra Beaulieu and her Lusitano stallion Rovandio, who will create a painted masterpiece in real time — a rare fusion of horsemanship, artistry, and musical expression. Guests will also enjoy gourmet dining by EP Designs, live music and dancing with Baby Gray, and a vibrant silent auction supporting Triple R’s lifesaving work.

Since 2009, Triple R has rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed more than 550 horses, donkeys, and mules across North Florida and South Georgia. With no publicly funded equine shelters in the region, the organization relies entirely on volunteers, foster ranches, and community support to respond to cases of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and owner hardship. The gala is the heartbeat of this mission — a night to celebrate these remarkable animals and help ensure their continued care and second chances.

A true classic of musical theatre, Oliver! has captivated audiences for generations with its timeless story and unforgettable songs like “Consider Yourself” and “Food, Glorious Food.” Based on Charles Dickens’ beloved novel, this heartwarming tale of a young orphan’s search for family and belonging has earned its place as one of the most prestigious titles in the musical theatre canon. With rich characters, memorable music, and universal themes of hope and resilience, this is a must-see for audiences of all ages.

This project is sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture & the National Endowment for the Arts.
