Clear skies, soft breezes for May Pops at Windsor BY CHRISTINA TASCON VERO BEACH NEWSWEEKLY
It was a perfect day for over 600 music lovers at May Pops to support the Indian River Medical Center Foundation. Music performed by the Brevard Symphony Orchestra and soloist Christiane Noll was well received by the outdoor crowd which sunned themselves at various spots on the Windsor polo field. A VIP tent was fully stocked with a gourmet luncheon fit for kings and queens, which had been prepared by the Quail Valley Club. Guests sipped champagne and dined on Austrian artisan finger sandwiches, chilled New York strip loin along with tables full of tasty morsels and an amazing array of sweet treats as they waited for the concert to begin. Brightly festive sponsor tents lined up in front of the stage as the general admission audience was able to lounge on the grass listening to the music which floated on soft ocean breezes to the crowd. “The weather is just great,” said Eagle level volunteer John Pitta. “You could not have a better venue than this either, Windsor is just amazing.” May Pops has become an annual end-of-season favorite to enjoy one last day of outdoor socialization before many return north for the summer. “Over the last 23 years it has become a community tradition,” said IRMC Foundation’s Julia Keenan, “and we are so grateful for everyone involved. It’s the culminating activity of the season and a great way to say thank you to our supporters.”
