PANAMA CITY There hadn t been an interruption in the annual Mardi Gras party in historic St. Andrews since it began more than two decades ago until this year.
Last year s event preceded the pandemic lockdowns, and this year s event was postponed from February until later in the year, when more people would (with any luck) have received vaccinations. It s kind of like rescheduling Christmas, said Robbie Fehrenbach with the St. Andrews Waterfront Project, one of the people who helped get the celebration started in St. Andrews back in 1997. But people are ready to have, to celebrate, and we re resilient enough that we re going to do this.
It originally was scheduled for Saturday.
The graduation ceremony will start at 6 p.m. at Tommy Oliver Stadium.
This year s ceremony will include last year’s graduates who didn’t get to walk the stage because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Attendance will be limited to adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

FSU President John Thrasher updated the university’s Board of Trustees on the proposal last week, saying a joint proposal submitted in February had been accepted, allowing for planning to move forward.
The health care campus is planned for an 87-acre parcel near State Highway 79 and Phillip Griffitts Sr. Parkway, close to the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community.
The letter of intent involves the three parties planning and developing the campus to initially include an ambulatory and urgent care center, according to the release. The land is being provided by the St. Joe Company. Groundbreaking could begin sometime next year.
Future development includes building an Emergency Center and 100-bed inpatient medical center offering services such as gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, cardiology and general surgery among others.
