Join us for Fun & Fellowship!

The Florida Park Service Ranger Association will gather at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park for our Annual Gathering. We encourage everyone to reach out to folks who haven’t attended a gathering in a while and to reconnect with their FPS family. Our General Business meeting will discuss the status of the Association and the plans we have for the coming year.

The Arnold Kuenzler & Family Auction, started in the 1990s, is named for Arnold, Aggie & Kim who donated countless hand-crafted objects through the years. Hand-crafted objects and collectibles are still donated each year and serve as one of the major fundraisers for the Ranger Association’s James A. Cook Humanitarian Relief Fund which directly benefits past and present FPS staff. The Auction also serves as great entertainment. Arnold served as our entertaining Auctioneer for many years and the tradition continues with today's Auctioneers generating a lot of laughs.

You don’t have to be a member to attend but once you see what good deeds the organization performs you will want to join.
