📰 News we're reading

• Local Non-Profit ‘WHOLE Outdoors' Helps Everyone Experience the Outdoors (wjhg.com) — A Freeport-based nonprofit is making outdoor adventures like fishing, hunting, and beach trips accessible to people with mobility challenges, including local residents. WHOLE Outdoors partners with volunteer captains and charter operators, recently gathering at Grady Brown Park in Freeport before a Choctawhatchee Bay outing. Locals can participate or volunteer by contacting the group directly online, by email, or phone.
   

• The Business of Disc Golf (tallahasseemagazine.com) — Disc golf is booming across North Florida, and Freeport is on the map with its 19-hole Chain Dragons course highlighted among top Panhandle spots. While Tallahassee’s courses anchor the story, it also notes how players travel between cities like Pensacola, Crestview, and Freeport for day trips. That growing interest could bring more visitors and spending into Freeport.
