The Wakulla County Christian Coalition will be hosting their annual African-American Heritage Celebration on Saturday, February 21 at Hudson Park in Crawfordville. The event will begin with a parade at 11:00 a.m., followed by food, entertainment, exhibits and vendors in the park until 3:00.  Email Bossie Hawkins at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it to find out what you need to do to get involved or get in the parade line-up. 

The event will actually kick off the night before, Friday the 20th, with the 3rd Annual Arthur L Andrews Memorial Scholarship Banquet, to be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Wakulla County Senior Citizens Center, 48 Michael Drive in Crawfordvile.  The keynote speaker will be Dr. Ossiefield Anderson from Florida A&M University.  Banquet tickets are $30 per person or $55 per couple, and are tax deductible.  This banquet is the primary means of funding two $500 scholarships awarded to graduating Wakulla High School seniors each year. 

If you are unable to attend, the Christian Coalition will certainly accept any donation you’d like to make.  Again, your donation is tax deductible. Please be sure to include a complete mailing address so that we can provide proof of donations for your tax records. 

Don’t forget the parade and celebration in the park on the 21st!
