Some Of The News Covered:The blue signs on 30-A are being pulled! The Tourist Development Council voted to pull the blue signs on 30-A. Many residents complained the signs looked terrible and did not fit. The signs will be replaced in the future. The new look of the signs is yet to be decided. The Destin Seafood Festival for 2008 will have a new location! To locals its not so new! The Destin Seafood Festival was once held at the foot of the Destin Bridge on the harbor. The festival was relocated to the sports complex behind The Track. Look forward to a great Destin Seafood Festival for 2008 right on the harbor! Red Snapper season will close August 5, 2008 in federal fishing waters. The season will reopen June 1, 2009. The gulf's statemanaged waters will have a longer Red Snapper season that will last from April 15 till October 31. The National Marine Fisheries Service changed Red Snapper fishing season due to overfishing. The Seabreeze Jazz Festival will make a new home in Panama City in 2009! The Seabreeze Jazz Festival has been held in Santa Rosa Beach for 10 years. Now, the festival is relocating to Panama City's amphitheater in Pier Park for 2009. The festival has grown a lot over the past few years and needs a new location to accomodate its growing popularity! The festival has had a cap of 4,500-5,000 to keep the festival at a safe number. Walton County Commissioners recently visited Tallahassee to meet with legislators. Commissioners pushed to get more funding so that U.S. Hwy 331 can get widened. 331 has been known as a narrow road to drive on. Lots of deer frequent the roadside making it a dangerous road to drive on during the hours of the night. From Airport Road to Scenic Highway, medians are getting a facelift! 7.5 miles of U.S. Hwy 98 will be getting much needed widened turning lanes. Along with the turning lanes the medians will also be getting milling, resurfacing, new sidewalks, marked crosswalks and wheelchair ramps at signalized intersections. The project is to be completed in 506 days and cost $12.7 million. Boating along the Emerald Coast is very popular! Many boating accidents can be prevented with knowing marine forecasts. The weather along the Emerald Coast is quick to change especially water conditions. Boaters should check out forecasts at www.fluidsurfshop.com and go to the surf report where links can be found to some very accurate forecasts for safe boating!

Sat, 5 April 2008 How To Listen:Listen online using the player at the upper right hand corner of this page (broadband) or click for the dial-up version. iTunes listeners subscribe through our iTunes Destin Florida Podcast page. Some Of The News Covered:A meeting was held recently regarding the large blue signs on 30-A. Many residents gave their opinions and suggestions to the Tourist Development Council. No decisions have been made yet. The Army Corps of Engineers is expected to start fixing Norriego Point this month. Only 2,500 cubic yards of sand has been washed into the channel, which is far less than what was anticipated. Sand will be dredged from the pass and put back on Norriego Point. The Corps were given $230,000 earlier this year. The dredging should only cost $40,000, which will leave the Corps extra money to fix Norriego Point for the long term. The Sandestin Wine Festival takes place at the Baytowne Wharf in the Sandestin Resort April 10-13. There will be wine tasting, rare-wine auctions, celebrity winemakers and private dinners. More than 600 wines both domestic and international available for tasting and purchase at special-event pricing. Celebrity vintners and winemakers will also be there for tasters to meet. For festival details go to www.sandestinwinefestival.com Starting in May, fresh organic produce, greens and seafood can be purchased along the Destin Harbor. For four weeks the market will be on the harbor for the opening of the first phase of Harborwalk Village. The market will open on Saturdays from 7-11 a.m. starting May 3-24. Louisiana Lagniappe reopened March 12th! After renovations, the restaurant is back open with new flooring, roofing, expanded dining room, outdoor seating and much more! The menu has not changed nor the great view from the east end of the harbor! A new 20 year lease has also been put into effect! Red Snapper regulations are getting tough too! Red Snapper fishing may be closed from August 5th till June 1st of 2009. The amended Magnuson-Stevens Act could affect catch quotas for gag grouper, greater amberjack, grey triggerfish and king mackerel depending on stock assessments. The Act also requires an end to over-fishing of species, red snapper too, by 2010. The Florida Department of Transportation has approved a grant to build a new bike path the entire length of the Navarre Beach Bridge. When the bike path is finished a 40-mile loop connecting Navarre and Navarre Beach to Pensacola and Pensacola Beach will be available for cyclists. Work should start by the end of the year!
