The Panhandle Region
The Panhandle Region is an active area of operations. Of particular note is the Florida Forest Festival.
Each October, the vibrant timber industry and the Perry FL community comes together to celebrate their good fortunes.
The Festival has been a staple of the area for over 100 years. Dan Simmons, a former FFC-MVPA Vice President and Perry business leader, is a moving force in making the Florida Forest Festival a success and the FFC-MVPA is well represented each year.
