Our October 21-22 Beach Party was a blast.

The evening concert and ROR run/walk brought out about 500 people for the two-day event which was a first for the newly named Ted Sperling Park. It was a glorious Friday evening and a glorious Saturday morning enjoyed by beach lovers, recovery lovers, music lovers, and run/walkers alike. We want to thank Diane Lyons of the Shamrockers and New Balance for creating the run-walk, and help with the beautiful T-shirts, Tim Wilkins for his hilarious MC job, Twinkle, Willie Royal and Road Recovery for their amazing performances, the Guitar Center for the beautiful guitars we raffled, Barb McSweeney for the stunning bracelet prize for the winner of the 5k race and all the artisans and food vendors who came. The City of Sarasota and Sarasota County were both sponsors and helped with permitting and costs for the mobile stage, which looked fabulous out on the beach. The Fire Department came out to watch over us.  The festivities were filmed for our new movie, The Silent Majority, which will start previewing soon.
