Spring Break Christian concerts in Panama City Beach canceled
"It's still not clear exactly why the event was canceled."
Look like PCB doesn't want the "good" kids, bring back the alcohol fused debauchery and thugary!!! and the $$$!!!
I bet SoWal Rental Rates were too high and too regulated by the management companies and the kids had to settle for PCB, but when they found out it would be Christian Music as opposed to Gansta' Rap they started looking elsewhere. Bookings are down and everyone's upset...
Make the choice, Family Friendly vs. Thug Friendly and please keep the later out of our County...

Walton County officials also are advertising a zero-tolerance approach to Spring Break again this year.
"Our policy is going to be the same," Sheriff Mike Adkinson said last week. "We have had less problems by cracking down on underage drinking, but occupancy has stayed up."
Officials said between the zero-tolerance policy and getting the word out, arrests have steadily decreased in recent years.
"Everyone seemed happy with the way things have gone," WCSO spokesperson Corey Dobridnia said.
The sheriff said the main problem he is seeing now is the underage group that mostly hangs out at Seaside unsupervised. The college-aged group mostly stays in Miramar Beach.
WCSO had its first pre-spring break meeting last week for vendors, heads of security and business owners. "The meeting was pretty quiet, and the sheriff took that as a good sign," Dobridnia said.
Adkinson said as many as 60 or 70 officers will be patrolling in South Walton during peak Spring Break season, and if needed, that number can be pushed higher.

Here we go, looks like Walton is on top of it. Thanks to all on the front lines. Wish these reports had location of arrest so we can see where the attention is needed based on numbers...

Keep up the good work!
Interesting to see LOCAL kids being arrested too. Did they not get the message the first time?

House party raid was 1 of 9 calls to South Walton rental
"The home, which is located in the spring breaker-coveted Crystal Beach neighborhood near the Whale's Tail restaurant, has six bedrooms, six bathrooms and sleeps 26 people, according to its listing on the White Sands Vacation Homes website."
Sounds like White Sands Vacation Homes is part of the problem...
That and the fact that Walton Co., has no occupancy rules / ordinances...

"You just have to, basically to have a concealed container, they don't really check. Other than that I don't think there's any other way. Besides like, just trying to hide it or having a fake ID or something, which a lot of people do," said Klepper.
