VERO BEACH — Indian River Mall and 93.7 The Breeze have teamed up for the 10th year to present the annual Hurricane Preparedness Expo and Home Show on Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Vero Beach.
Over 3,000 people attended last year’s event and gained valuable advice for preparing their home, family, and pets for a potential disaster. Over 40 vendors are expected this year with products ranging from shutters, generators, roofing, and new technology in hurricane preparation.
The American Red Cross will sponsor a children’s activity zone and will be taking donations. Local meteorologists Steve Weagle from WPTV and Chris Farrel from WPEC will be on site throughout the day giving their 2013 storm predictions.
Area residents are also invited to enter the Hurricane Cook Off Challenge where winners will receive restaurant gift cards, movie passes, and other gift certificates. Entries will be judged on taste, originality, ease of preparation, and appearance beginning at 1 p.m. in the Food Court.
