With Santa’s reindeer resting up before the big night, the Big Guy came to town last Friday morning in style – aboard Piper Aircraft’s newest plane, the M600.
He alit from the aircraft at a Christmas at the Airport event hosted by the City of Vero Beach and the Vero Beach Regional Airport.
Before his arrival, the talented Oslo Middle School Choir performed for the appreciative gathering and later enjoyed juice and cookies while waiting to share their secret Christmas desires with Jolly St. Nick.
“It’s a kickoff for Christmas by the City,” said Airport Ambassador Catherine Caddell, adding that the occasion also marked the unveiling of a flat-screen monitor donated by the Indian River Historical Society for visitors to view historical photos of the airport and Vero Beach.
And then Friday evening, viewers lined all along Indian River Lagoon to watch the annual Vero Beach Boat Parade. Participants had ‘decked the decks’ with holiday décor and literally lit up the lagoon as the creative and colorful twinkling lights on their craft reflected off the water.
