Summary
The Natural Resource Board reviewed plans for the city’s Earth Day and Arbor Day celebration April 26, including a chalk-art contest hosted with Indian River County, live performances, vendor participation and a scavenger-hunt prize.
The City of Sebastian will hold its Earth Day and Arbor Day celebration Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., city staff told the Natural Resource Board on Feb. 8.
Felicia summarized the event program included in the board packet: a chalk-art contest hosted with the Indian River County Natural Resources Department and Alexis Peralta of their stormwater division; a buffered-shoreline planting; live music (Roland Galindo and Uncle Rudy Bautista, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.); a scavenger hunt with Sebastian Daley providing the grand prize; and vendor participation. At the time the agenda packet was prepared, staff listed two food vendors, 13 merchandise vendors and five nonprofits; Felicia said additional vendors had since applied.
Board members agreed to share the event save‑the‑date flyer and encouraged full board volunteer participation. Donna Billman said the charter school will run a poster contest. Ray Osborne (Zoom) suggested inviting a Teddy Roosevelt reenactor who had performed at a previous event, though board members noted any additional paid performers would need to fit the event budget.
Staff said vendor applications are live and that the event team will provide volunteers with materials; staff will send the digital flyer to board members for distribution.
