Bay County Historical Society hosts annual Pioneer Day
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – As Panama City has grown and developed over the years, historical society members continue to remember its roots. Bay County Historical Society members continued a 75-year tradition, Saturday, with their Annual Pioneer Picnic at the Oakland Terrace Clubhouse. Members listened to music by Judy & the Guys, shared family stories and enjoyed a picnic meal. SNL star Tim Meadows to perform at Captain Anderson's Center in Panama City Beach Members said they discuss the past, present and future of Bay County, and they hear from some of Bay County's pioneers. 'The historical society saw a need for preserving history. So they started having these picnics for the old timers like me to share stories with. And I'm by far not one of the pioneers of our area, but to hear some of these stories of our real pioneers that came when there was nothing here and built what we have today from the resources that they had at that time,' said Bay County Historical Society Member Tem Fontaine. The Bay County Historical Society works to bring history back to life by preserving items in its museum. They worked to preserve the Panama City paper mill whistle and the original clock that is the centerpiece of downtown Panama City. But to continue their mission, they need donations. To become a historical society member or make a donation, you can stop by the Bay County Museum, located on Harrison Avenue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The ‘Terrifying' Impact of Trump-Musk Breakup on National Security and Space Programs
This week's rapid, unscheduled disassembly of Elon Musk's bromance with Donald Trump has left officials at America's space and security agencies reeling. One NASA official, wary of the agency's dependence on SpaceX as the space exploration industry's leading recipient of government contracts, said the bitter public feud between the president and the former DOGE chief had at first been 'entertaining' but that later, 'it turned really terrifying,' per the Washington Post. Musk and Trump's falling out was received with similar horror at the Pentagon, the Post's report continued where officials initially thought it was 'funny' watching the pair trade barbs on their respective social media sites before 'there was a realization that we're not watching TV. This is a real issue.' Both NASA and the Department of Defence have reportedlt embarked on a blitz of calls in recent days to SpaceX competitors, urging firms like Sierra Space, Rocket Lab, Stoke Space and Blue Origin, owned by Amazon's billionaire founder Jeff Bezos, to accelerate development of their rocket systems after Trump threatened to cancel Musk's contracts on Thursday night. Contracts held by SpaceX with the U.S. government, worth many billions of dollars, cover a wide variety of services, from launching satellites for the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to flying cargo and people to and from the International Space Station. Officials at NASA were apparently particularly concerned by Musk's threats, which he's since walked back, to discontinue SpaceX's use of its Dragon craft, which would potentially have left the agency without means of transporting astronauts to the orbiting research station. 'When you realize that he's willing to shut everything down just on an impulse, that kind of behavior and the dependence on him is dangerous,' as one member of the agency told the Post. 'I can tell you there is deep concern within NASA.'
