Navarre Krewe of Jesters Press Release 9/27/2007 Local Community Group pioneers County’s new “Adopt-A-Spot” program.  The Navarre Krewe of Jesters, a well known local community group responsible for organizing and putting on the annual Mardi Gras parade on Navarre Beach, is the first organization in the south-end of the county to sign up for Santa Rosa County’s “Adopt-A-Spot” program. Similar to the State’s “Adopt-A-Highway” program, the local version provides for clean up on county roads, parks and other county owned areas in need of litter control. The Jesters have been actively participating in the State program for over 2 years and took on the County program when SR399 (Gulf Blvd.) was transferred to the County. The Krewe of Jesters keeps a 2-mile stretch of Gulf Blvd. free of litter and participates in Earth Day and International Clean Shores projects. The Jesters, active in our area since 1986, are always eager to find new ways to help our community. They provide a scholarship for a graduating Navarre High student, bring Christmas cheer to the residents of Bay Breeze Assisted Living Center, and support several American Cancer Society programs. The Jesters are working hard to make Navarre and the surrounding communities a nice and fun place to call home.  The Jesters are always looking for new members who are interested in helping them continue this tradition of community service and spirit. If you are at least 21 years of age and interested in making Navarre the best place to live and have loads of fun doing it, visit their website at www.navarrekreweofjesters.com for a membership application. Also available on the website is the parade application for the 2008 Mardi Gras Parade to be held on Navarre Beach on February 2nd, 2008.  If you don’t think you want to join full time you might ask one of the members for a chance to be a “Jester for a Day” during the 2008 Mardi gras parade.  The Krewe is selling chances for $5 Single, and $10 Double for the opportunity to ride on one of the floats during the parade.  They will provide throw beads for the winners and several other commemorative items for the winner/s.  The “Krewe” will hold it’s annual 12th Night celebration on January 5, 2008 at the Elks Lodge, tickets will be available soon.  They also will have the Annual “Masked Ball” on January 26, 2008 at the Comfort Inn Conference Center.  This will feature live music, a silent auction and Cajun food.  If you are interested contact a “Krewe” member for more information.
