Welcome to the 50th Annual Wausau <strong>Possum</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> There have been a lot of changes in Wausau and Northwest Florida since 1970, the year the Wausau <strong>Possum</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> and Fun Day was created by Dalton Carter and the Wausau community. In 1970 there were no computers, digital cameras or electric cars. There was no internet, no cell phones, Facebook or Instagram. Our children ran around barefoot on occasion, stayed outside well after dark and even ran with scissors. Children rode in the back of pick-up trucks, and we didn’t even use seatbelts. Still, we managed to live a good life, full of promise and hope, and we loved and took advantage of most everything God gave us- sunshine, the old swimming hole and the culture and heritage of Northwest Florida. The world has changed in the last 50 years, but this festival remains- still paying homage to our history, heritage and simpler way of life, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for being our guest at the 50th anniversary of what started out as a dream to put Wausau on the map and give people something to do during the ‘dog days’ of Summer. When you return home after the festival, think back fondly of the peace and quiet, quality of life and relaxed lifestyle of this Wausau community. Enjoy!
