New and creative ways are being devised to assist retailers who need the business more than ever. The City of Fort Pierce teamed up with Main Street Fort Pierce to help small downtown businesses expand their storefronts onto the street by blocking off parking spaces with barricades. Shop owners have enhanced the curbside areas with pop-up tents, flower boxes, comfortable seating and display tables and racks.

Dust off your tap shoes, tune your guitar and practice your magic tricks — Get your act together, because Indian River’s Got Talent has arrived! This new and entertaining event is in the works, and we are now accepting submissions for our youth division.
Submit an up to two-minute video of any talent suitable for public viewing to DiscoverELC.org/IRGT. Cell phone videos are accepted.
“We thought our community could use something fun and positive to focus on and what better way than to share our talents with one another? The youth division will launch our inaugural Indian River’s Got Talent, so that our young folks have something exciting to look forward to. We will have a full blown IRGT adult division coming soon,” Executive Director, Barbara Schlitt Ford of the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) said, “Step up, be brave, let loose and help us unite the community in a celebration of what makes Indian River truly special. It’s not just the ocean, lagoon, restaurants, venues and activities that make this the best place in the country to live, it is our people, each unique and wonderful, choosing to be connected, embracing life and positivity, supporting one another!”

Let’s stay open St. Lucie!
|
|
As Florida continues to experience daily growth in Covid-19 cases, the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce would like to remind you how important it is to continue the reopening process. Double digit unemployment is not sustainable and contradictory to a healthy economy.
Our nation is facing formidable obstacles in the fight against this global pandemic. Risky behavior could result in a backslide of restrictions. With so much at stake, we want to encourage you to maintain minimum safety standards and are asking for cooperation of courtesy. Let’s err on the side of caution. Social distance, wash your hands, sanitize, and wear a mask. In a time where many of us are feeling helpless, there is something you can do. Protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your co-workers. It doesn’t matter what you believe, or what you are fighting for, you’re doing it for others, not for yourself! Let’s stay open St. Lucie!
Disposable masks, cloth masks and sanitizer are in stock and available through the chamber. Click here.
