The “Pictorial History” books published by the group will be for sale, along with books, railroad caps and coffee mugs.

Entertainment planned includes the Jay High Jazz Band, Atmore’s Southern Pride Dancers, Camp Fire boys and girls, the Pilgrim Lodge Youth Choir, the Santa Rosa & Escambia Twirlers, Angie Shelly & Twirltime and more.

The Panhandle Cruisers will display antique and custom automobiles, and there will be vendors featuring a variety of wares.

The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. until at the Historical Park in the Century Historical District on Jefferson Avenue.
