Jenni L. Baggett earned her BA and MA at the University of West Florida graduating with her Master's in 2022. Since then, she’s been working as an archaeologist for Wiregrass Archaeological Consulting. In addition to many other exciting projects, she’s been working on the Mobile River Bridge Archaeological Project.

Jenni Baggett’s paper provides a preliminary foundation for identifying non-heterosexual and non-cisgender identities in the archaeological record as part of the Mobile River Bridge Archaeological Project. The paper includes an overview of Mobile's rich LGBTQ+ history, including the city's once-thriving gay district, and reviews the challenges associated with identifying sexuality at the intersection of race and gender.

Join the Emerald Coast Science Center at the Fort Walton Beach Library for this free event. We’ll host several solar activities indoors before safely viewing the eclipse outside.

Activities
•Let your creativity shine as you create your own Sun and Moon on paper plates. Then you can chart the progress of the Eclipse across the sky right in your own hands.
•Ultraviolet (UV) light is an invisible type of light that comes from the Sun. UV light in small doses is a good thing - it gives our bodies vitamin D and keeps us from feeling sad or depressed. But too much UV light can be dangerous. Learn about the power of UV rays and how to keep yourself safe the next time you're at the beach while making a bracelet, necklace, or bookmark with these magical UV beads.
•Enjoy hands-on exploration as you create your own 3-Hole-PUNCH Pinhole Projectors, experiencing the marvel of optics firsthand. Safely observe the Sun and discover the art of image projection during eclipses or on any sunny day with your personalized projector.

Pensacola Habitat for Humanity is continuing an incredible partnership with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos this year! Back by popular demand, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity will be TAKING OVER the stadium at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos home game on Wednesday, July 3rd. During the game, our staff and volunteers will be filling the concessions stands, selling 50/50 tickets, participating in on-field activities, handing out freebies, cheering on the home team and so much more! This incredible evening of baseball, community and partnership will help raise thousands of dollars for our mission of providing affordable homeownership opportunities in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. Not to mention, we’ll cap the night off with another spectacular fireworks show from the Blue Wahoos to celebrate the Fourth of July! (Firework show included in ticket purchase.)

This fundraiser raised over $5K in one night last year, and we’re aiming to raise even more money this time around. Be sure to purchase a ticket from Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, as 100% of proceeds from tickets sold by us go back to us! Make sure your family and friends know about our game, and make sure that if they want to support us with a ticket purchase that they do it with our ticket link. Kids of all ages are welcome!
