Weekly news from the Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce
President's Message
If the pine pollen hasn’t already made you aware, spring is here in Wakulla. In addition to the lovely yellow coating on everything, and the itchy eyes and watery noses, spring is also the time of year most of our local businesses begin to see a marked increase in business. Because of our proximity to the coast, nearly every business in Wakulla County is affected by the seasonal ebb and flow centered around water related sports and activities.
March is the month that kicks it off with spring break for schools, and there are as many people out in boats on the water as there are beachgoers with toes in the sand. Before first light, the armada that is traffic headed south stops at every store selling ice, bait, snacks, and beach supplies, and at the end of the day everyone moves back north through our county, stopping to resupply, fuel up, and stop for drinks and dinner on the way back home. This is the cycle - rinse, wash, repeat; every year it starts in the spring and takes us right on through the summer. Because of that, it is no surprise that Chamber membership is up in the spring, and the number of new businesses starting up is too. For January and February, we had 11 new businesses join. More here
