Sunrise Rotary has announced the date for their 15th annual Craft Brew & Wingfest. It will take place at Royal Palm Pointe in February.
Even though alcohol consumption in the US is at historic lows, there are still some festive cocktails available throughout Indian River County.
Our friends just north of us in Cape Canaveral are taking steps to prepare for a tsunami. While tsunamis are rare, they are always a risk in coastal areas worldwide. With the recent talk of the Russians developing a tsunami nuclear weapon, perhaps it’s something Indian River County should consider as well.

More businesses in Vero Beach and Sebastian accepting bitcoin for payments every day. What was once dismissed as “funny internet money” is now becoming mainstream, with payments becoming available at our local businesses. Now that Fortune 500 companies are holding bitcoin in their corporate treasuries, perhaps it’s time for us to pay a little more attention to what is being heralded by some as the future of money.
Coinbase is a US-based company with an impeccable safety record (no hacks, ever). They connect to all major and minor traditional banks to make investing in bitcoin easier than ever. Even if you are still skeptical about bitcoin’s future (I know I am), it may still be wise to allocate some funds to bitcoin…just in case.
