In Walton County, few names are as synonymous with local broadcasting and community engagement as Art and Marty Dees. Their journey through the world of radio has not only chronicled the evolution of DeFuniak Springs but has also played an integral role in shaping its social fabric.
Marty and Art Dees are all smiles as they celebrate homecoming during the Walton High School parade. Art, having broadcast the football games for Walton County from 1980 to 2014, is being inducted into the Walton High School Sports Hall of Fame. “Not for my physical abilities,” he jokes. “Marty deserves the award too, because she had to do the legwork behind the scenes before the games.”
