The district encompasses an area from the Southeast Gallery of Photographic Art and Beads on its northwest border of Route 60 and 15th Avenue, south to Sunside Fun Snowballs & Cajun Food on 14th Avenue and 18th Street and east to Loggia Home and Garden on Old Dixie Highway. As a steady stream of people meandered through the area, participants breathed a sigh of relief that threatening storms never materialized.
Main Street Vero Beach and the Cultural Council of Indian River County were the beneficiaries from ticket sales for the raffle prizes donated by the all the merchants. Decorative Arts, Estillo Boutique and artist Patty Vaughn teamed up to provide the Environmental Learning Center’s Fire Fund with a portion of proceeds from the evening.
