2024 Year In Review
By Tami Stevenson
The year 2024 saw some surprising events, from three major hurricanes that devastated Florida and other states to unforeseen election outcomes, both nationally and locally.
All in all, most Americans ended the year with hope for the future as we move into 2025 and beyond.
Here are some of our top highlights from 2024:
KrissAnne Hall speaking in Live Oak January 18, 2025
KrisAnne is a Constitutional attorney, author, public speaker, film maker and founder of Liberty First Society. Her perspective is always “Liberty Over Security,” “Principle Over Party” and “Truth Over Personality.” She is the most sought-after speaker on our Constitution. She pulls no punches – gives no quarter to those who hide behind any political party label.

Elf on the ROOF?
By Tami Stevenson
What’s this? An elf on the roof? What roof?
An elf has reportedly been spotted hanging around Walt’s Live Oak Ford the past few days. Turns out, once the Walt’s team finally caught him, his name is Rocky and he just wants to help kids.

Walt’s GM Bryan Blair and Rocky the elf stopped long enough for a photo while planning the fundraiser for this weekend. Look for the elf on the roof! -SVT Photo by Tami Stevenson
