Alley Naming Ceremony

The City of DeFuniak Springs will hold a ceremony to name an alley in honor of Benjamin “Ben” R. Woodham, the late son of Gary Woodham, owner of the DeFuniak Herald Beach Breeze Newspaper, and Cindy Woodham, owner of the Nook & Cranny consignment shop.

The ceremony will take place on Monday, April 4, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. at the alley behind the Herald print operations building located at 25 8^th Street, DeFuniak Springs.

The alley was chosen because of its proximity to the DeFuniak Herald editorial office on Baldwin Avenue and the print operations building. The alley was a common path from both buildings which Ben regularly traveled. Ben was the Herald’s Assistant Publisher and print operations director.

The alley naming ceremony is open to the public.
