Every Christmas the Military Moms Prayer Group organizes a drive to send gift packages to the troops to let them know that they are not forgotten. The gift program, known as Holidays for Heroes, has generated an avalanche of community support, with donations of food and other items from throughout Indian River County and beyond. Local elementary school children have contributed hundreds of handmade cards. Since 2006, more than 22,500 packages have reached the troops deployed to war zones and at sea in time for the holidays, thanks to this community-wide outreach.

Spurred by tragedy, a Florida man walks the US with a message: 'Love Life'. |
It’s hard to miss Steve Fugate’s message. It’s in bold red letters on a sign mounted over his head. And it’s simple: Love Life.
The 67-year-old Vero Beach, Fla., resident is spreading that message by walking across America. Pulling a cart packed with his supplies and a supply of water, he set out from his home on March 23 and plans to walk through all of the lower 48 states.

The Old Wabasso Bridge: A Legacy Lives On! |
The old Wabasso Bridge was built in 1927 and crossed the Indian River Lagoon between the small town of Wabasso on the mainland and Orchid Island north of Vero Beach. in 1960, the FDOT decided to replace the original structure with what is known as the 'A. B. Michael' bridge, named after one of our citrus pioneers. Disney's engineers decided to check it out before it was sent to be scrapped and ended up purchasing it. It was then restored to its original condition and is now a part of the Main Street Railroad at Magic Kingdom. |
