There were great connections at the West Nassau Chamber Luncheon yesterday!

We enjoyed spending time with local business and community leaders, including Nassau County Commissioners, while learning more about the important work being done by the West Nassau Historical Society and Museum.

And of course, no West Nassau gathering would be complete without a local favorite, the Chicken House nuggets!

What a fantastic time we had at the Party in the Pines, the Westside Regional Park Grand Opening! 🎉
We were thrilled to join the celebration of this incredible new community asset. This much needed addition to Nassau County offers something for everyone, including pickleball courts, kayaking, fishing, a dog park, and a brand-new amphitheater for live entertainment and community events.
One of the highlights of the day was seeing one of our favorite local bands, The Honey Badgers, take the stage! (Go Hupp!)
It was great to see so many familiar faces, local vendors, and community leaders come together to celebrate this exciting milestone.

Great Job Nassau County, FL!
