Destin Forward To Dedicate Pilot House to Museum

     Destin, FL, April 25 - On April 30, the Destin Forward Class of 2008 will dedicate a restored pilot house to the Destin History & Fishing Museum to be used as a photo spot and place for children to explore.

     The class, which consists of 21 area professionals, took on the restoration of the pilot house as its class project. The pilot house had previously been donated to the museum, but needed much work before it was usable. The class built a foundation and new base for the pilot house, restored its interior, fixed rotten wood on its roof, built stairs and railings, and gave the outside a fresh coat of paint.

     The April 30 dedication will begin with a ribbon cutting at 3:15 p.m., and will also include a children’s coloring contest, photo opportunities, and more. There will be refreshments provided, and everyone is invited to attend the celebration, which will last until 5 p.m.

      Destin Forward is the Chamber’s community education and leadership program. Applications are now being accepted for the Class of 2009. For more information about the pilot house dedication or about Destin Forward, please contact the Destin Area Chamber of Commerce at (850) 837-6241.
