FORT WALTON BEACH — The 23rd Annual St. Mary’s Spring Fling will be held April 11-15 at the C.H. “Bull” Rigdon Fairgrounds at 1958 Lewis Turner Blvd. Admission and parking are free. It is the same Spring Fling area families and visitors have enjoyed for years. It’s just moved from the church grounds to behind the fairground buildings to allow more room for the midway rides and games and the food court. Ongoing construction work for the new courthouse prompted the move to behind the buildings, organizers said. Enter the fairgrounds by the ball parks and drive through the gate. Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Explorers will guide festivalgoers to the large parking area. Regular midway armband price is $22 and $20 with a discount coupon. There will be coupons in the newspaper as well as thousands of coupons sent to schools in Okaloosa County, organizers said. Individual ride tickets will also be available.
