Dana Fisher has a thirst for knowledge, so when she noticed that the fruit trees in her yard weren’t producing good fruit and she wasn’t able to grow vegetables, she did some research and found it was a lack of pollinators in general.
Talk to Jane Baldridge and you quickly learn that her life has revolved around her love for the sea. From the days growing up along the coast near Galveston, Texas, she spent much of her life sailing and racing sailboats, working at her family-owned boat store, and later in life, becoming a licensed boat captain.
Looking for that perfect gift or gift certificates for the holidays? You won’t have to travel far. Check out these offered by Treasure Coast theaters and businesses.
The Polar Express, The Messiah, The Nutcracker, lots of parades, many thousands of twinkling lights, festivals, and The Star of Wonder at the planetarium: yes, the holidays on the Treasure Coast are here with all the cheer you could want. Expect the season to be merry and bright now that COVID-19 is mostly in the rear view mirror.
Florida seasons are often out of sync with the rest of the country, but that’s even more apparent during the holidays. We’ve got all the celebratory spirit minus the cold weather it coincides with everywhere else. We adapt by putting a Florida spin on everything.
This season for the VBMA is certainly appealing, with artwork from private collections to stunning photography and even Streamlined Sculptures.
If there is ever a time for a theater to shine, it’s during a major anniversary year. Eight anniversaries marking decades or half decades this year foretell a brilliant season for the Treasure Coast performing arts.
Downtown Stuart is a popular destination — especially on the weekends. It is buzzing with all kinds of activity as visitors shop, dine, attend open air concerts and just have fun.
As a child growing up on the Treasure Coast in the 1960s and early ’70s, I always had difficulty relating to popular images of Christmas such as carolers singing in snow-covered villages, sweater-clad ice skaters gliding over a frozen pond or horses merrily pulling sleighs. We simply didn’t have snow for the holidays, and many Christmases were warm enough to go to the beach.
