The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and over 200 people came out yesterday, Sunday March 7th, for the first annual Billy Pierson Memorial Golf Tournament in Panama City Beach.
Held at the Holiday Golf Club, there was lots of great golf, live music, and PGA golfer John Daly was a big hit. Next year, the tournament is set to be even bigger and better with additional PGA names and a 3 day event planned!
This month, Miracle Strip at Pier Park is opening to bring back all the great memories of Panama City Beach’s most beloved attraction. The rides are in place and soon, Pier Park will be roaring with screams and delight. At PCBDaily.com, we want to give you an opportunity to hit the park this year as often as you like by giving away an annual pass.
Tell us one of your best memories from the old Miracle Strip Amusement Park. Did you have your first date under the lights, maybe took a summer job working Dante’s Inferno or just had a great time with friends? Whatever your memory, post a comment below and WIN.
The winning annual pass includes a special “buddy pass” that allows the annual pass holder to get a free arm band for their “buddy” to ride with them for the day. This works great for children who need parents to ride with them or are older and want to bring a friend when they come.
Our staff will pick the top 10 best stories and the winner will be randomly chosen. The announcement of the winner will be made two weeks from now in our March 23rd newsletter.
Miracle Strip at Pier Park opens this Saturday, March 6th. So go out and have a blast!

Preserve dispels myths, educates the public on this fascinating carnivore
Cynthia Watkins, owner of the Seacrest Wolf Preserve has been fond of animals as long as she can remember. A show breeder of Siberian Huskies early on in her career, she became interested in the conservation of wolves in the 1980s. In 1995, Cynthia became involved with the Yellowstone National Park Wolf Reintroduction Program where she experienced her first physical contact with a wolf.
“The experience stoked the fire of conservation in my heart,” Cynthia said beaming with enthusiasm for the animals.
What started off as a small conservation effort in 1999, Cynthia and her husband Wayne now care for 25 pure gray wolves along with several other animals at their preserve.
