The annual Peanut Butter Challenge is underway, coordinated by Escambia County Extension, to collect jars of peanut butter to be given to area food pantries this December.
“The Peanut Butter Challenge not only raises awareness about the important contribution of North Florida’s peanut growers to the state peanut industry, but also helps provide a healthy, locally produced product to food-insecure families in northwest Florida,” said Libbie Johnson, agricultural agent for UF/IFAS Extension Escambia County and co-organizer of the challenge

The Enchanted Forest: Pensacola Opera Visits Century Branch Library
October 11, 2019
Pensacola Opera presented “The Enchanted Forest” Thursday evening at the Century Branch Library.
In the epic adventure, children had a chance to help the characters save the forest from a fire-breathing dragon. Children were able to cast the hero, villain, sidekick, and love interest right at the top of the show. Complete with dramatic twists and turns — and music from iconic composers including Mozart and Bizet — the performance depended on audience participation to find the right path and make the best choice.
