We live in Molino and really appreciate the Jay crafts, food and fireworks. We don’t like going all the way to the beach so we appreciate something local that is good quality – a big thank you to whomever puts it all together each year, I am sure it is a lot of work!!!!
I think with all the money the two towns have should be used or the communities children, after all they don’t want businesses to come here so where is all the money going we pay for our contribution too the two towns?
I think the Town of Century and the Town of Flomaton is so sad. Why couldn’t these two towns come together (as in the past) to put on a Fireworks show for our community? I think its crazy having to go Jay or any other town, even if it’s only a 10 minute ride. One thing for sure…….you can can’t on the Flomaton Speedway! Not sure about this year, but they usually have firewoks!!!!!! A BIG THANK YOU GOES TO THE SPEEDWAY!!
