In a memorable celebration, we celebrated the dedication of Highway A-1A in his honor and paid tribute to the enduring influence of Jimmy Buffett on Florida\u2019s music, culture, and lifestyle. In collaboration with Margaritaville Resort Orlando, we organized a giveaway for a weekend getaway, offering guests the chance to experience a slice of Margaritaville magic firsthand. The event was so popular that Fox5DC news heard about it, and did a five minute feature the morning of the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"563\" height=\"851\" data-id=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/cosoc.co\/fhdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20240719_154541000_iOS_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1022\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"851\" data-id=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/cosoc.co\/fhdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20240719_154541000_iOS_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1020\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1198\" height=\"851\" data-id=\"1021\" src=\"https:\/\/cosoc.co\/fhdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20240719_154541000_iOS_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1021\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing our summer celebration of Florida\u2019s accomplishments, we hosted the Olympic Soiree to highlight Florida\u2019s impressive representation of Olympic athletes at the Paris 2024 Games.
