T

he fi rst annual Sea Turtle Soirée was held at the Hilton on Pensacola 
Beach on December 15. The Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation 
Center put on this event to educate and bring people together to learn 
about the future projects and portable growth extension for the center. 

At this current time the center has one turtle, named Sweet Pea, and can house two. 
They want to grow to be able to take on more turtles. This event had hors d’oeuvres, 
silent auction, live entertainment, and a live painting by Jason White. Also present at 
the event was Sea Turtle Wines, which the Conservation Center has partnered with 
and some of the proceeds from each bottle go back to the Center to help with their 
programs.
