optimistic outlook. Based on rising attendance, the organization

Treasure Coast since1973
may expand its March Sandy Shoes festival from a single
day to two days this year. The organization, which offers the
popular Friday Fest celebration once a month, plans to create
a special St. Patrick’s Day celebration this year. “Even with
the economy, people are coming out more and attendance is
up,” she said. “We had 400 people sign up for the Halloween
Ghost Walk this year and we were wondering how we were
going to handle it.”
Whole families are attending events as families are reconnecting
and doing things together, she said. “I am really
optimistic about how this season will turn out because people
are saying it’s time to get out and have some fun.”
