Spring Flings By Josh Newby
If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about Pensacola’s rich history, March offers the perfect opportunity to get engaged. The kickoff Archaeology Month event is Dash Through the Past, a run/walk scavenger hunt through Downtown that explores the history and archaeology of the area. Held Saturday, March 7 from 9 am to 12 pm, the hunt begins and ends at the Florida Public Archaeology Resource Center at 207 E. Main St. Single people or teams of two will receive a map and list of challenges to complete the hunt in the order they choose. First-place finishers and runners up will be awarded prizes and participants can get fun Destination Archaeology Resource Center swag. Every March, statewide programs and events celebrating Florida Archaeology Month are designed to encourage Floridians and visitors to learn more about the archaeology and history of the state, and to preserve these important parts of Florida’s rich cultural heritage. March will bring several lecture series, volunteer days, the grand reopening of Arcadia Mill, and even an Early American Traditional Music performance on March 24 at Old Christ Church at 6:30 pm. Plan to attend some of the many events throughout March by visiting flarchmonth.org. Feeling hungry? Attendees can sample the locals’ mouthwatering offerings for free and tip their favorites. New this year is a special VIP reception at the Lee House on Saturday from noon to 5 pm. Tickets are $60 per person or $100 per couple. “We’ll have a whole hog, specialty BBQ, shrimp, you name it, full spread,” says organizer Ivan Delabruere. “We’ll also have craft beer and wine in there, so it’s really a pretty cool deal for that whole afternoon.” Continued on page 3.
