Flagler County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin has attended 100 ribbon cutting ceremonies with the ribbons to prove it.

“I like to attend these ribbon cuttings as a show of support for our community, our businesses and our organizations,” McLaughlin said.

The latest was held today Wednesday, July 15, by the Florida Park Service at the Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area to commemorate the opening of its new campground that overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway. It provides 30 sites for RV-camping and another four to accommodate tent campers.

McLaughlin stores his ribbons in batches of 10 on bookshelves of his office in the Government Services building, not kept in any particular order.

“I’ve saved a piece of the ribbon from every single one of these events held to inaugurate the opening of a new business or building,” he added. “It’s important to me.”

McLaughlin has attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Finnegan’s Black Cloud, The Surf 97.3 FM, Dentique Dental, Varn Park, Junque in the Trunque, Brookdale Palm Coast, the Palm Coast Arts Foundation, Sensible Water and local attorney Mike Davis – since June 10.

This information was adopted from a press release.
