“Fan satisfaction ratings last year were the highest we have ever seen in SunFest history. We heard loud and clear that fans come to the waterfront to hear good music and reunite with old friends,” said Executive Director Paul Jamieson. “In response, we’re maximizing our entertainment budget by putting the art show, south stage, fireworks and 5K race on hold for 2023. We are spending 15% more than last year on talent with fewer headline acts. We believe the quality overall is improved and hope that our fans agree.”

● RazzaMoore

● SoulPax

“There is a very vibrant local music scene teeming with talent in South Florida, and we are proud to be able to offer our neighbors the opportunity to perform at SunFest 2023,” said Jamieson. “Make time in your festival plans to check out these groups and support their efforts to create original music right here in our own backyard. SunFest has become a very unique time of year that brings people from all walks of life and all ages together in an unforgettable setting. It’s more than a music festival in a tropical paradise – it’s a place where old friends can reconnect and resurface cherished memories.”

The Arc of Palm Beach County Receives Grant for Community Inclusion Program

Riviera Beach, Fla. (February 17, 2023) – The Arc of Palm Beach County aims to build acceptance and inclusion for all children to help them thrive in the community. Thanks to a continued partnership between The Arc and Prime Time Palm Beach County, youth with disabilities will continue to have improved access to high-quality experiences in after-school and summer programs.

The Arc’s Community Inclusion Program coaches, supports, and provides training to 514 out-of-school time (OST) practitioners each year to ensure that every child can participate in OST programs alongside their peers. The program focuses on how to implement interactive activities and strategies that complement the strengths and abilities of all youth. Through the effective use of visuals, person-first language, activity design, and room setup, practitioners foster an environment that encourages communication and enhances social-emotional wellness. 

“The Community Inclusion Program gives practitioners the tools and skills needed to promote the inclusion and acceptance of all youth in the community,” said Kimberly McCarten, president and CEO of The Arc of Palm Beach County. “When children with disabilities can share their unique talents and interact positively with their peers and adults, other youth also benefit from the healthy social relationships built through understanding and trust.”

The Community Inclusion Program is made possible with support from Prime Time Palm Beach County, which receives significant funding from the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County. Prime Time has supported The Arc for nearly 20 years. This year, the program will support an additional Community Inclusion Specialist, enabling The Arc to coach more practitioners and enhance the program’s impact.

Mechanical Bull Riding Competition Buck Off Challenge Returns to Benefit Southeast Florida Honor Flight

Mechanical Bull Riding Competition Buck Off Challenge Returns to Benefit Southeast Florida Honor Flight

Wellington, FL (February 13, 2023) – Vietnam veterans Ramon Silvacoll, Fred Quan, Ernie Zimmerman, and Bob Nappi profoundly appreciated their recent emotional trip to Washington, D.C. as part of the Southeast Florida Honor Flight. 

The quartet agreed that the positive reception they received in the capitol and returning home to Palm Beach International airport was the polar opposite of when they returned to the U.S. after their service ended. 

“The Honor Flight made me feel like a brand-new person,” said the 77-year-old Silvacoll, who served in the Marines. “It was such a beautiful thing. It’s a great organization.”

Nappi, who joined the Navy before he turned 17 years old, was surprised at the reception the veterans received both at the Washington, D.C. airport and Palm Beach International. 

“Honor Flight gave me back the feelings that I had lost for years,” said the 71-year-old Nappi. “When you get treated the way we were treated when we came home, you didn’t want to think about it. I buried it. Not too many of my family knew about anything so it was easy until I blew up and exploded. The Honor Flight gave me everything that I lost. It takes veterans from a place in a hole and puts them on a cloud. The veterans that go on Honor Flight come back as new people.”

The Stuart-based Southeast Florida Honor Flight is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization that flies World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans from Palm Beach International to Washington, D.C. four times a year free of charge to visit the memorials built to honor their service and sacrifices. 

Each flight costs about $140,000 and are completely funded through donations, according to Chairman Janet Hoose. The next flights are scheduled for April 15 and May 27. 

They hold several fundraisers throughout the year and the largest is the Buck Off Challenge, a family-friendly mechanical bull-riding competition on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. on the boardwalk at the original Wellington Community Center.

A limited number of individual VIP reserved seats are available for $75 and includes close-to-the-action seating, dinner and a cash bar. There is free general admission, and guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs. 

To register a team or purchase tickets, visit https://seflhf.tofinoauctions.com/buckoff.

Zimmerman served in the Army and had taken his daughters to Palm Beach International to welcome home veterans from previous Southeast Florida Honor Flight trips. 

“Honor Flight was one of the best things in my life, other than when my children were born,” said Zimmerman. “The volunteers are the greatest people I ever met in my life. They’re fantastic. When we got to Washington, the people treated us great. The people who weren’t involved in the organization, when they saw what we were wearing, they treated us like war heroes. When we came home from Vietnam, it was nothing like that. They treated us like the scum and the garbage of the earth. To be treated so good, even though it’s 50 years later, it makes us feel so good. For a veteran, especially a Vietnam veteran, it’s one of the greatest things in the world.”

Four-person teams compete in the Buck Off Challenge, where individual rides are scored by a panel of celebrity judges and totaled to determine the winning team. Riders are scored on their ability to stay on the bull while always keeping one hand in the air and the style of the ride. Higher scores may be achieved for character, team “spirit” and costumes. Prizes are awarded to the top three teams.  There will also be prizes for Most Entertaining Team, Highest Scoring Individual, Highest Scoring Youth Rider (12 and under) and Highest Scoring Rookie Rider. 

The entry fee is $100 per team. 

The Buck Off Challenge is being co-sponsored by the Village of Wellington and Signature Sponsor,philanthropist Dr. Shamser Singh of Port St. Lucie. Other major sponsors include philanthropists Sanjiv Sharma and Nadine Allen of Highland Beach, Madison Sport Horses, IDA Development, Carolex Stables, Travis Laas, Triple Crown Group, IDA Farm, and Pro Plumbing and Gas. Additional supporters include Vitas Healthcare, All Pro Pools, Red Mile, and Heaven Aire Air Conditioning. Our gracious food sponsors are Bolay – Wellington, Bonefish Grill – Wellington, and PDQ – Wellington. 

Quan was a platoon leader in the Army and believes that veterans should take advantage of the Southeast Florida Honor Flight services and is thankful for the support through the business community and individuals to make these trips happen. 

“I would totally recommend that (veterans) should go because it is a really inspiring thing that your efforts during the war were appreciated,” said the 76-year-old Quan. “It was an honor (to serve). It really was an honor.”
