July 2021
Cheryl Thibault - Operations Director
On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on the fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.
Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
The Lions Club of Sebastian and the Sebastian Masonic Lodge and the City of Sebastian enthusiastically invites you to participate in the 50th Annual Parade which will be held on Saturday, July 3rd, 2021. The fun-filled day will include an opening ceremony, parade, festival, and fireworks will begin at sunset. This group has provided the City of Sebastian with the best celebration for many, many years!
We have more in the works! Not everybody leaves the Sebastian River Area in August! We look forward to seeing everybody at the Annual Grill Out Night, scheduled for Friday, August 13th, 2021. After last year off, due to COVID-19, Grill Out Night is back! The theme is Polynesian and the fruit is Coconut. If you are not grilling, hopefully you will be chilling, with our businesses!
We also are gearing up for our 2021 Visitors Guide advertising sales! This award-winning publication has been the go to guide for visitor information for over 20 years! We encourage you to consider the added benefits of advertising in the Chamber Visitors Guide. We appreciate the support from our advertisers, we couldn’t make this publication happen without them!
Have a wonderful Fourth of July!

Joel Stout - Owner of Sandpiper Pest Control
All of us at Sandpiper Pest Control are grateful to all the individuals and families that have trusted us for the last 23 years to take care of your pest and public health needs. From fire ants and mosquitos to fleas, and rodents to ants and termites we are State of Florida Certified and trained to handle your pest needs.
We usually have to answer at least once a year regarding Sandpiper Pest Control - "Why do you want to kill those birds?" I'll take this opportunity to assure you we DO NOT kill Sandpipers. Here's the story behind our name - One morning in the mid 1990's, my wife Lori and I were sitting at
Lantana Beach where our son Zachary, age 2 at the time, was running along the edge of the surf with his legs moving about 100 mph and we noticed that his legs seemed to be moving as fast a the Sandpipers legs when they were avoiding the incoming surf, so his nickname became "Sandpiper". Three years later, when Zach was 5, Lori and I were trying to come up with a name for our new Pest Control business we were trying different names that reflected the Florida coast theme but nothing was clicking. Zachary was also sitting at the table with us, coloring and listening and he suddenly shouted out "how about Sandpiper?" We knew immediately that was it and quickly decided that the bird with its foot prints in the sand would be our logo. We have never killed a Sandpiper in our life, but "For your pests with more than 2 legs" you can call - "Sandpiper Pest Control"!
