Vero Beach Florida Homes

A party in the park at the Heritage Center in mid-town Vero Beach complete with an opening speech by Mayor Sabin Abell and a grand birthday cake opened the festivities.  Family members of pioneer families were honored as well. 

The Heritage Center Historical Museum welcomed visitors from Vero Beach and national and international guests.  Old farming implements, photos and documents were on display as well as slide show presentations around the hall.  Visitors purchased commemerative posters, booklets, and myriad items such as Vero Beach Historical Christmas Tree decorations.

The party atmosphere would not be complete with performances.  Rock, country, and golden oldies groups, and a traditional barbershop quartet pleased the gathering.  The Guild presentation of Broadway Show hits were a crowd favorite. 

Of course there was food and lots of it, and although some vendors ran out of food, there were plenty of other options as well.  Some of us who waited “for the lines to dissipate” were among those who made alternate choices.  Fortunately I made it to the front of the line when there were 14 sandwiches remaining so I did not have to feel guilty about eating the last one.  Everything all around the park smelled and tasted good. 

 We are all anticipating the 100th Anniversary of Vero Beach in only another 10 years!
