The Suwannee River is roughly 266 miles of black water, snaking it’s way from the Okefenokee Swamp
to the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s banks originally inhabited by the Timucuan Tribe who named it Suwani, meaning “Echo River”. By the 18th Century there were Seminoles as well.

I just thought I would share some Florida Wildlife.
The 20th Annual David Moss Memorial Service will be held July 30th at the Williston Police Department. Please come and share this service with those who will be honoring the sacrifice Cpl. Moss made for the community of Williston. Service starts at 9:00 A.M. in the vicinity of the flag pole and plaque in front of the Police Department.
Corporal Moss was killed in the line of duty on July 30th 1988 while investigating a disabled vehicle. From what little is known about the encounter, Corporal Moss appeared to have been ambushed after a short foot chase. His assailant fired one round, fatally wounding him in the chest. Corporal Moss returned fire, killing his assailant.
For the most part, it was a safe and fun loving crowd who came in the spirit of the holiday to enjoy the comraderie and celebration.
As always, the festivities got kicked of by a parade (see pictures below) and with it being an election year, it lasted over an hour. If you missed it, plan on attending next year. It’s always a little bit of “Smalltown” at its best!
