Martin County lists State of the County, CARES open house, movie night and Skate Jam in February events roundup
Summary
Martin County announced a series of community events in February, including the State of the County address (RSVP deadline Feb. 13), a CARES open house Feb. 27 at Blake Library, a birding walk Feb. 25, a community movie night Feb. 28 at New Monrovia Park, and a Skate Jam competition Feb. 22.
Martin County public officials and podcast hosts highlighted multiple community events scheduled for February: a State of the County address on Thursday, Feb. 20 (RSVP by Feb. 13); a CARES open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in the Armstrong Room at the Blake Library; a Valentine’s birding walk Feb. 25; a community movie night showing the original Transformers at New Monrovia Park on Friday, Feb. 28 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.; and a Skate Jam competition for ages 5 to 18 on Saturday, Feb. 22.
The CARES open house is planned as an indoor information fair in the Blake Library’s Armstrong Room, with more than a dozen county departments participating in indoor exhibits and activities, a Touch-a-Truck display, teen game night and family activities. The podcast hosts said the event will include food trucks and that the Martin County Sheriff’s Office grill team will be on site. Some displays will include live-animal exhibits and microscope demonstrations, the hosts said.
The State of the County address was announced with an RSVP deadline of Feb. 13 and will review the county’s past year of work. The Skate Jam is a registration-required skateboard event for participants ages 5–18 divided by age group so younger competitors do not face older ones. The movie-night event is free and open to the public; the podcast hosts said county staff will operate a grill and food will be available.
A brief adoption plug on the podcast noted a dog named Asa at the Humane Society is available for adoption. Specific registration links, RSVP instructions and program contact information were referenced in the podcast show notes but were not read verbatim in the recording.
