To highlight our wonderful natural environment, world-class facilities and our healthy, active residents, the theme of our 2023 county calendar will be “Active Outside.” We’re calling on the public to submit photos that feature people participating in outdoor activities, whether it’s sports, swimming, boating, beachcombing, bird watching, hiking, playing at the playground or whatever else you do you outdoors. We’ll select 15 photos to be featured in the 2023 “Active Outside” calendar.

Experts believe that gas prices are being dragged lower by falling crude oil prices, which suffered steep losses this past week on worries of a global economic slowdown. If these futures price drops hold, drivers could see Florida gas prices drift back below $4.10 per gallon. However, this is still an extremely volatile fuel market. On Tuesday, the price for U.S. crude oil plummeted, falling below $100 a barrel for the first time in eight weeks. Tuesday’s closing price of $99.50 per barrel is nearly $9 (16 percent) less than the week before, and the lowest daily settlement since April 25.
