Walton County Snowbirds are a social flock

After their most recent snowbird gathering, the registration numbers for the Walton County Snowbirds (WCS) have reached 574 members. 

The snowbird gathering offered samples by local vendors, numerous door prizes donated by the area businesses who support the snowbirds, a 50/50 drawing, and entertainment by Rich McDuff, who got the entire crowd chanting and clapping in a few group songs. 

Are you single and looking for other singles to mingle with while on the Emerald Coast this winter? The Walton County Snowbirds have a very active singles group. The members meet in January and February for happy hours and lunch after the general meetings. This group’s outings are a great way to meet other snowbirds who do not have a partner with them. 

With over 30 activities and several other social events to choose from, there is something for everyone in the Walton County Snowbirds (WCS). 

You must be a registered WCS to participate in any of the activities and social events. Membership costs $20 per person. You can sign up at any of the registrations or snowbird gatherings. 

The next registration will be held at the Faith Assembly Hall at 306 S. Geronimo in Miramar Beach from 8:30-10:30 a.m. on Feb. 5. 

You can also register an hour prior to any of the scheduled snowbird gatherings. Snowbird gatherings are scheduled from 10 a.m. until noon: 

Jan. 25 at Destin Methodist Church. 

Feb. 8 at Destin Methodist Church. 

Feb. 22 at St. Andrew's by the Sea Episcopal Church.
