They miss the club, but not the snow and cold weather.
For the first time in more than 40 years, the Destin Snowbirds didn’t cut the ribbon to the “roost” at the Destin Community Center because of the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept across the world.
Usually, the Destin Snowbirds meet weekly at the roost, as well as participate in various activities throughout the week from card games, pickleball and golf, to the occasional trip to Biloxi, Mississippi. But when the club decided to cancel the season, all official gatherings were canceled.
However, the cancellation didn’t discourage some from making the trip south for the winter.
