Beulah Bash is going on from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday at The Escambia County Equestrian Center.
“It’s an opportunity to explore a Hallmark movie-esque Christmas come to life in a small town atmosphere,” Campus Pastor Mike Moulton of Marcus Pointe Baptist Church Beulah said. This is the third year that Beulah Church has held the family friendly Christmas event. “It connects the church to the community and the community to the church.”
The event has fun for the entire family. There is last-minute shopping with over 100 craft vendors, entertainment, car show, food trucks, kids’ face painting, inflatables, photos with Santa, sleigh rides and pony rides. Over 4,000 people attended Beulah Bash last year.
“The is a focus on the community and the family aspect of it all,” Moulton said. “But the real reason is to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Eight Escambia Fire Stations Need Fire Alarms For $150K
December 12, 2024
Even fire stations need fire alarms.
Tonight, the Escambia County Commission is set to consider the purchase of fire alarms for eight county fire stations at a cost of $150,402.66. If approved, the purchase from Florida, and Security Engineering, Inc. will include hardware and installation of new alarm monitoring equipment.
The fire alarms will be for the following stations:
- Station 4- Cantonment
- Station 5 – Century
- Station 9- McDavid
- Station 15 -Walnut Hill
- Station 7 – Ferry Pass
- Station 3 – Brent
- Station 13 – Pensacola Beach
- Station 16 – Warrington
Escambia County described the existing fire alarms at those stations as “antiquated”.
“The current hardware is incompatible with the recently installed cell dialer system, which transmits the alarms to the Escambia County Communication Center,” according to county documents. “The upgrades are necessary for the safety of personnel and visitors and reduce property value loss in the event of an emergency”
