NFBA proudly announces our 1st annual membership drive and reunites with the new owners of Flamingo Lake RV Resort. We are calling on our entire membership for support to help us with this new venture by attending and showing the same hospitality that made this association what it is today. A special price for camping has been negotiated for this event and is a deal you won't want to refuse!

St. Augustine Seafood & Music Festival

March 7-9, 2008
Francis Field
St. Augustine, Florida

Coastal Blue, the NFBA Youth Band, gave their best performance yet at this event! They were on fire - the crowd loved them. The MC had them do 2 encore songs before letting them leave the stage. Southern Lite and Valerie Smith also gave great performances at this local event on Sunday, March 9th.


Bluegrass Pick-in

March 1, 2008
St. Augustine Shrine Club
St. Augustine, Florida

This was a great event! This was the largest turnout in at least the last 4 years - the parking lot was overflowing with cars. Numerous groups were picking in the parking lot, and then 2 groups inside the building. The food was fantastic! The Shriners offered a delicious fish fry with baked beans and cole slaw out on the back deck. Fun time had by all!
