The Environmental Learning Center is special at any time of day, but add some twinkling lights and it is magically transformed into a festive fairyland, as happened last Saturday evening at the ELC’s annual WinterGreen Night Lights event.
Glimmering lights lined the buildings and trails of the 64-acre campus and even lit the way for canoers to paddle through the mangroves.
A brilliant full moon added to the ambiance and the clear night was perfect for star gazing with Brevard Astronomical Society telescopes. Santa helped spread a little Christmas cheer and families kept little ones busy making nature crafts together.
Nonstop entertainment featured the Beachland Sharks, Sebastian Elementary School, Sebastian Middle School Madrigal Singers, First United Methodist Vero Beach Bell Choir and Boat Captain’s Bluegrass all lending their talents to a perfect evening.
