A HUGE SHOUT OUT to EverGreen Media for marketing this event and getting the word out and to Gram and the The City of Vero Beach for all their hard work getting everything set up just right (and maybe moving the stage 2, 3, 4, 5 times lol), upgrading the power box so we can CRANK up the tunes.
And, also a big shout out to all the people working behind the scenes -from the city staff to all the sponsors (Millennium Cremation Service, Mangrove Sands Golf Club, Sunshine Furniture, FORMULA ONE OF VERO BEACH, The Chesnutt Law Firm (who is sponsoring the photo booth!), Kiwi Car Wash, A Fan Above, Treasure Coast Golfcarts, Lori Davis, Your Realtor for Life, Dale Sorensen Real Estate and more - all who helped pull off this big of an event.
