Another big seller are the Christmas ornaments, which are made in house.

As a youngster, Richard experienced life in many different places because his father was a naval officer and jet pilot who transferred to states including Oregon, California, Texas, Virginia and Georgia. In 2008, Richard decided to leave everything behind to travel full time in an RV with his furry companion, Charlie.
While camping at Hillsborough River State Park, Richard was approached by a park volunteer who offered to show him around. This experience drew his interest in volunteering with state parks. However, it wasn’t until 2010, while he visited Rainbow Springs State Park, that he decided to help by filling in a volunteer spot. In a period of 11 years, Richard has dedicated his time to over 22 parks.
The Destin Log
After finding a $100 bill in the road while walking her dog, a regular patron of the Destin Library decided to use books to spread the good luck.
The patron, who asked to remain anonymous, was thrilled to find the $100, but wanted to pass on that “thrill of the find” to others.
So, she went to the bank and had them change the $100 into fives. She then brought the $5 bills to the Destin Library and asked if library workers could somehow anonymously hand them out to other patrons.
The library came up with the idea of making bookmarks and wrapping them with a $5 and a note that simply says, “Thanks to a generous donation by a grateful patron, we humbly give you this special bookmark.”
