The location in Vero Beach was Pocahontas Park, the old courthouse, the old train station, the Heritage Center, the water fountain, the shuffleboard courts and the new Indian River Chamber building...which is basically downtown Vero.

The Friday evening officially started at 5:30 with many individuals speaking about Vero and how it all started. A lot of action had taken place all morning as the numerous participants set up for the extravaganza. There was music, food, booths, antique cars, and lots more. TV News covered the affair so you will get some of the flavor in the next few weeks. But it's just not the same as being there.

Most of my evening was spent inside the Heritage Center assisting in the Vero 90 Video presentation, coordinated by Dan Thomas of the VBPS. This PowerPoint pitch, which runs about 20 minutes, included sound and showed many slides of Vero and Vero Beach from the early days. These pictures came from a variety of sources that are recognized for the most part, at the end of the presentation.

I did take a break and wandered the event taking in the people and the sights, and taking some pictures, which I have included with this blog.
