On Feb. 19, Sebastian Lodge hosted its 19th annual car and motorcycle show under the direction of event chair, Dan Talbott, Leading Knight. There were 217 registered cars, trucks and motorcycles and more than 1,500 spectators. More than 50 volunteers assisted with the planning and event-day activities. The event raised more than $7,300. Of this, $2,835.49 was donated to the Parade of Heroes, and the rest is for the lodge’s local charities. Elroy the Elk gave out coloring books and red ribbons to promote the Drug Awareness program. The Indian River County Sheriff's Department displayed the breast cancer awareness car and the teen driver challenge car. The Sebastian Police Department COPE Unit brought its trailer and provided all attendees with as much popcorn and sno-cones as they wanted, at no charge to them. During the show, children were given ballots and were made official judges to pick their favorite show entry for the Kids’ Choice award. The lodge also received numerous membership applications.
