Don't Miss Wednesday's Historic Walking Tour

Kick things off Wednesday morning with a walking tour led by Bobbie Secor, one of our most enthusiastic and knowledgeable local historians, who will guide you through 12,000 years of local history, from the pre-Columbian Indians to the pioneers that built the Vero we know today. See our previous article about the Heritage Center's downtown walking tour here.

In the evening, get ready to dance with The Penny Creek Band for the second in a series of bluegrass concerts raising money to support local music education programs. Admission is free, with a 50/50 raffle benefitting the Vero Beach High School band.

Schooled in New England, she has a Baccalaureate in Latin & Greek and a MS in Education. She lives in Vero full-time and has enthusiastically embraced her new southern life, serving as a docent, donor, and board member of the Heritage Center and Indian River Citrus Museum and a docent at the Saint Lucie Historical Society History Center in Fort Pierce.
