Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Destin adult softball league kicks off with big wins (thedestinlog.com) — Destin's city adult coed softball league is underway at Morgan Sports Center, with Emerald Coast Roofscapes, Reissue, Urban Air, and Destin Commons all grabbing high-scoring wins in opening-week action. If you play or cheer in this league, box scores highlight standout hitters, late-inning rallies, and how each matchup unfolded across the first full slate of games.
• Destin beach safety numbers reveal a busy but safe summer (thedestinlog.com) — Destin beachgoers can look back on a packed but largely safe summer, with more than 1.7 million visitors, 155 rescues, and only one fatal incident reported along the seven-mile stretch of guarded shoreline. Lifeguards with the Destin Fire Control District handled hundreds of first-aid cases and over half a million preventative actions, and are now scaling back to eight roving guards daily as crowds thin after Labor Day.
• Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation Changes Its Name. (midbaynews.com) — A Destin-based charity pillar is reintroducing itself as the Northwest Florida Children's Foundation, signaling a broader mission beyond its famous wine auction. Leaders say they'll keep the Destin Charity Wine Auction and Harvest Wine & Food Festival while focusing more on year-round grants, including $3.25 million this year to 16 Okaloosa and Walton County nonprofits serving children and families.
