2 COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS: Comm. Walden: none Comm. Brown: First and foremost, I would like to thank our Carrabelle Water & Sewer Dept for working day and night over Memorial Day weekend to repair an issue we had with our main sewer system. Without their efforts, the Carrabelle water district could have had a not so pleasant holiday weekend and their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of First Friday in downtown Carrabelle. Please join us for music, art, late shopping, refreshments, and fun. I'd like to thank Mr Bill Owen and Mr Bo May from RIO Carrabelle for getting this started. It had been a great boost to our local businesses. Last month the Franklin County Board of Commissioners appointed me to our Tourist Development Council. The TDC Board promotes Franklin County's natural, historical, and cultural resources, with the goal of bringing visitors to our area to support our local economy. I am very appreciative to be a part of this board. Sat, June 15 is the 21st Annual Kingfish Shootout @ C-Quarters Marina here in Carrabelle.
