A dedication/ribbon cutting ceremony for the new "Great Blue Heron" electric boat

It was a wonderful day today, as we celebrated a dedication/ribbon cutting ceremony for the new "Great Blue Heron" electric boat, almost completing the fleet of new boats at the Park. The Great Blue Heron was generously supported by the Florida State Parks Foundation, based on revenues generated from the sales of the Florida State Parks license plate! Thanks to the FSPF, Florida State Parks, and to all those that support the Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park...we are so grateful and couldn't do it without you! Come visit the Park, and partake of the gorgeous Fall weather and peaceful ride on the Great Blue Heron!
