Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit on Operation Market Garden. This exhibit will be on display at the museum from Tuesday, September 1 until Saturday, October 3. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

Operation Market Garden (September 17th - 27th, 1944) was the attempt to establish control of the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem on the border of Germany and the Netherlands. This involved the combined efforts of the First Allied Airborne and the XXX Corps of the British 2nd Army. The battle was unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, including the dependence on a single raised highway the ground forces had to use to link up with airborne troops (US, British and Polish) dropped at the three bridges.

This exhibit presents the military commanders from both the Allied and the German forces, and presents information of the Horsa and Waco gliders, as well as the Douglas C47 Skytrain aircraft used to bring troops and equipment from England.

The battle was commemorated in “A Bridge Too Far”, the 1977 film. “Band of Brothers”, a miniseries from HBO in 2001, also depicted the 101st Airborne's part in this battle. They landed near Eindhoven and Veghel.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located at 1873 Hwy 98 West, directly across from the very beach where the beach assault training occurred in 1942-1943. Carrabelle Beach was the site of many practice beach assault landings. 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.

Much like last year, the event will begin with a dinner hour with food trucks, leading into an inspiring program where you'll have the opportunity to listen to a "songwriter's round" where local singer/songwriters will perform their songs and tell the stories behind them. Next you'll hear stories of empowerment from Girls on the Run participants and coaches. Our headliner will be revealed VERY SOON, and we cannot be more excited!

You won't want to miss this uplifting celebration and we hope to see you there!

Join nationally recognized artist Shawn Dell Joyce for an inspiring acrylic painting workshop at Gadsden Arts, held in conjunction with our upcoming fall exhibition, America’s Everglades: Through the Lens of Clyde Butcher. An award-winning plein air painter and founder of the Wallkill River School of Art, Joyce has taught artists across the country and has been featured in The New York Times, PleinAir Magazine, and other national publications.

Participants will begin by creating value sketches and color studies to explore composition and understand how light shapes the landscape. Using acrylic paint, they’ll build on these studies to create a finished painting with depth, atmosphere, and expressive use of light and shadow. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your painting skills or explore new techniques, this workshop offers valuable instruction in a welcoming environment.

EVENT DETAILS: Join Dr. Angie Boyer, Ph.D., animal nutritionist and founder of Grain & Grace Consulting, for Puppy and Kitten Neonate Nutrition, an essential course presented in partnership with Hollywood Feed. Designed for pet parents, fosters, and rescuers, this class walks you through the critical first eight weeks of life to ensure young pets grow safely from birth to independent feeding. You will learn how to navigate each key developmental stage, including the milk replacer and weaning phases, while understanding the specific energy, fat, and hydration needs that build a strong immune system, healthy bones, and early brain function. Dr. Boyer explains why puppy and kitten nutritional needs are not interchangeable, highlighting why kittens require significantly higher protein and vital amino acids like taurine. You will gain practical, step-by-step guidance on choosing species-specific milk replacers, avoiding dangerous milk substitutes, and mastering proper feeding techniques, such as correct sternal positioning, formula temperature, and nipple flow, to prevent aspiration pneumonia. The class also details how to track daily growth using a gram scale, how to seamlessly transition pets to solid food using a gradual three-step weaning process, and how to identify immediate red flags that signal it is time to call your veterinarian.
Have questions for the expert? You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions and get personalized advice from Dr. Angie Boyer at our Live Q+A at the end of the presentation.
