All the money made by the Junior League of Panama City over the weekend will be donated and put right back into the Bay County community.

"All net proceeds go back to our mission," Holly Fair Co-chair Taylor Moorman said. "Our mission supports women, babies, and the elderly in Bay County, and we want to make sure we are able to support them moving forward. So that's why we do what we do here at Holly Fair."
