parktowne-expo-spring-2010-edgewater

A beautiful day with a cool breeze made for a festive event amongst the ponds and trees surrounding the Parktowne Industrial Center in Edgewater. Participants from local retail, manufacturing, services, financial establishments, and non-profit organizations complimented on a successful day.

The day started at 8:30 am with a special tribute to our Armed Forces presented by Post 285 Honor Guard and the VFW 4250 Honor Guard. Following the Ceremony was Edgewater Councilman, Ted Cooper and SEV Chamber President, Sue Williams with opening speeches.

An estimated crowd of 600 people enjoyed the family activities to include a petting zoo, live entertainment, remote boating, and much more. Most exhibitors had give aways and door prizes to include special drawings by the Edgewater Rotary and the SEV Chamber of Commerce!

Volusia County Economic Board members were on hand to support the event and participated in the exhibition. Hosted by the Expo Committee made up of local business leaders, SEV Chamber of Commerce and the Edgewater Economic Development Board all combined to make a successful event.

Attendees and exhibitors both inquired about next years event and the move forward to make this Expo a annual impact on the local knowledge of what Edgewater really has to offer the community!

FEELING YOUNG AGAIN/SENIOR-SENIOR DANCE

Posted on March 9th, 2010

 tn-1_7216

    Friday night (March 5th) in New Smyrna Beach High School’s cafeteria, the class of 2010 seniors hosted a dance. Nothing out of  the ordinary for a high school to have a dance on their campus, but this dance was very different. It was a SENIOR - SENIOR DANCE. Translation: The senior students invited senior citizens to join them for an evening full of dancing, live entertainment, refreshments and photos.
    This service project was a way to give back to the community that is beloved in New Smyrna Beach, the “Young At Heart” senior citizens including grandparents, church members, co-workers and friends. The senior class president, Sydney Kendricks, welcomed the elderly to this young and old party. The music selections spanned over 60 years and everyone enjoyed the collection chosen by Peri Kose and the disc jockey was Chris Atwell, both members of
the steering committee.
   
The Electric Slide filled the dance floor as young and old danced simultaneously to the crowd pleasing song.

    Live entertainment was also provided, featuring singing and guitar playing by Justin Watson, Candice Cuchetti and Alex Kinsey.
    Kaylee Richmond and Amanda Bartlett were student photographers that took pictures and printed them out during the evening, providing everyone with a memento of the dance.
    The event was advertised on flyers that were distributed around town. There was not a huge crowd, but everyone that attended had a wonderful time. As the dance was winding down and people were beginning to leave, one woman was heard saying, “That made me feel young again!”
