The Best of Show trophy went to Arrow Service and Towing, while Sparkle-N-Shine took the President’s Cup for the second consecutive year.
Kent working on beach access
City Commissioner Troy Kent said at the Tuesday meeting that he was still pursuing more access to the beach for residents. In earlier meetings, he had complained about county management of the beach.
“Those who know me know that I won’t let it go until we have more access to the beach,” he said.
Kent pointed out that only one beach approach is open within the Ormond Beach city limits. He said there has been discussion about forming a board with representatives from each city and the county, where grievances can be heard and problems resolved.
