Last night, via proclamation, the Escambia Board of County Commissioners "surrendered" the county to Don Tristan De Luna. The above plaque was presented to DeLuna signifying this action by the board.
It was all in good fun, of course, and the "surrender" was in jest. It is all part of the Festival of Five Flags-- a rich Pensacola tradition that takes place every (non-COVID) year around this time.
Fun, festivities, and merry-making. Good times for all!
So we surrendered last night at Seville Quarter and had fun doing it--all of us. The City, County, Sheriff, Police Chief, Supervisor of Elections, Captain of NAS Pensacola, and Fire Chief.
Everyone had a little gag before they surrendered--and I was no exception.
You can watch my ceremonial surrender--and associated tall tale-- of the county here. See pictures, below.

Fun. Yes! LOVE ❤️ the Five Flags iconic logo and celebration.
Meanwhile another failure to lead on the revenue needed for the fire department. You’ve had since may and now time has run out. Zero leadership. All talk. Only actions are those beneficial to the BOCC
Maybe the fire dept should scale back.
