The free event is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. at Beachworx Destin, located at 34990 Emerald Coast Parkway.

Wagner characterized the recent legislative session as particularly active, saying it has implications for the local community.

“Florida State Legislature has been a crazy year this year, and there’s a lot of new bills, budgets, and things that you as a business owner or local should know about,” Wagner said in a video announcement.
