The Walton County Chamber Ambassadors teamed with their Destin Chamber counterparts for a joint groundbreaking for Connerly & Helmich, PLLC on September 30. The new facility, located in Regatta Commons, is expected to be built by next summer.

Board President Albert Butler joined the Ambassadors in celebrating the opening of Blue Luna Caf‚ with a Ribbon Cutting on October 5. Owners Suzanne and David Brewer (back row, center) open the restaurant in Uptown Grayton and named it Blue Luna after experiencing the rarity of two full moons in one month during both January and March this year. The Ambassadors were treated to a selection of scrumptious desserts following the ribbon cutting.
