Children had some romping stomping fun last Saturday morning, quite literally crushing it at the safest ‘fireworks’ experience around – the Vero Beach Book Center’s annual Bubble Wrap Explosion.
Giggles of delight accompanied the popping sounds as piles of bubble wrap were crunched underfoot; the little ones stomping with abandon on the packaging, saved up throughout the year.
Owner/manager Chad Leonard has continued the time-honored red, white and blue tradition started by his parents, store founders Tom and Linda Leonard, which also featured patriotic music, a flag-waving parade around the second floor, where the Children’s Store is located, story book readings and assorted children’s crafts.
