Letter: Taste of the Beach more than good food

Dear Editor:
I was pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the 7th Annual Taste of the Beach on Sunday as a volunteer waitress for the judges’ table. I ran up and down those pavilion steps a hundred times; bringing samples for the judges to taste, but it was a lot of fun for a worthwhile cause that is close to me.
Guest Column: Time to break from tradition

It is not quite 10:00 am, and the sun has been warming a spot just for you. “Hurry up and wait” has been the order of the day. An hour spent just waiting for all the color guards to arrive and take their place in line. Some stand in their assigned spot, others, mostly elder veterans, lay their colors on the hedge lining the walkway and retire to the shade.
Everyone has seen them, the recreational boats that have three smokers aboard going out for a day of beer and fishing. Upon return, there are no empty beverage containers, cigarette butts, or single use plastic bags.
St Johns County Fire Rescue reported to Historic City News reporters that they were dispatched to a two-vehicle auto accident at approximately 3:50 pm this afternoon.
