-Cloudy skies as a hornet flies over the Escambia County Central Office Complex wins a spot in FAC calendar-
Escambia County is featured in the Florida Association of Counties 2016 Calendar: Awesome Weather. The calendar theme was chosen by FAC members in the month of July and a photo submission contest was held in the month of August. Escambia's submission was taken by Mollie Taylor and features cloudy skies as a hornet flies over the Escambia County Central Office Complex, which features a 33,160-square-foot green roof, the largest in the State of Florida.
Over the summer, FAC members were asked to choose a theme for the 2016 FAC Calendar. The vote was overwhelmingly for Awesome Weather. Following the selection of a theme, Florida’s 67 counties were asked to submit their best photos of the awesome weather in their county – more than 400 photos were submitted. From the submissions fifteen were selected for the 2016 FAC Calendar.
