Sebastian 3rd Grader in Google Finals

billero — Thu, 15 May 2008 15:10:10 +0000

A local third-grader at Sebastian Elementary has drawn her way into the ‘Doodle4Google’ finals. The contest, entitled, “What if…”, encouraged students around the United States, grades K-12, to draw a picture and write a short story based around the theme. Thousands of entries were submitted, and only 40 finalists were selected.

Cierra Purvis, 9, from Sebastian Elementary, was one of the lucky finalists. If she wins, she will get $10,000 towards a college scholarship and $25,000 for a technology grant for Sebastian Elementary.

This is such a great honor for Cierra, so let’s get the word out and help her win! You can log onto:

You have until Sunday, May 18th to vote and Cierra’s entry is located in the Region 4 section.

Now, I’d say Sebastian has some talent!

GO CIERRA!!

Disney Resort Makes Top 10

Set right in the heart of Wabasso, between Vero Beach and Sebastian, sits the lovely home of The Disney Resort. After reviewing over 200 resorts across the United States and the Caribbean, Parents magazine has named Disney’s Vero Beach Resort in the top 10 best beach resorts for budget-conscious families. This national parenting magazine based their decision off of the quality of the children’s programs and variety of family activities, while focusing on budget. The resort ranges from $129 to $500 per night, most rooms falling under $250 per night. This media attention, especially with the economy the way it is, will surely provide the Vero Beach Disney Resort with a lot of attention this summer.

The Resort is also a wonderful place for locals to go to enjoy a lovely brunch on a Sunday morning, or grab a cocktail at night. What could be better than having Disney in the backyard?

Jazzy Night in Sebastian

billero — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:16:15 +0000

On Thursday Night I attended the Sebastian High School Jazz Concert, which much to my surprise for a local High School Band was incredible. The Sebastian High School Students can really play. If you were there, you would have thought you were listening to a higher level of musicians playing.

The Sebastian High students were led by a group of seniors that will be attending some of our finer schools in Florida, some will be attending on music scholarships and others will be attending these schools in pursuit of their academic interest. It was nice to see these young men and women on there way to a higher education in their career field choices. Each Sebastian Senior was introduced by the Schools Band Director at the end of the show and thanked for their contributions to the Sebastian High School Band during their High School enrollment.

I would recommend to anyone that likes jazz music to attend one of these concerts.

Quiet Little Cafe’

GeneBillero — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:58:01 +0000

On a quaint alley way, right off 14th Ave, in downtown Vero Beach is a quiet little Cafe’ that is relaxing, delicious and you would think you were somewhere in Europe. The Melody Inn is the place, I was treated like gold. The owners are the chefs and care about everything that comes out of the kitchen. I tried the “Le Cordon Bleu” - a pork chop tenderloin filled w/ham & cheese and lightly breaded along with “Rooschti” a shredded potato grilled to perfection and fresh beets in a vinaigrette. Ice cream in a 7 chocolate sauce finished off this delightful meal. This is a romantic, clean restaurant that is worth finding. Gene Billero
