Posted on May 1, 2015

The 60th annual Florida Forest Festival promises to be a landmark year with the return of several “old favorites” and a host of new traditions in the making.

“We are excited to announce that we will be crowning a Miss Taylor County Forestry Queen to preside over all festival events. In addition, by becoming a part of the Miss Forestry family, we will be opening the field to a broad range of age categories–from birth to 22,” festival board member Dawn Taylor said.
