🌅 This is what you should do in Saint Lucie County

Good Morning Sunland, It’s Thursday!

I’ve got some exciting news to share!

Growing up (and even now), I would often hear people say, "There’s nothing to do here," or "This place is boring." I’ve heard it all.

But since starting Sunland News, I’ve learned that couldn't be further from the truth. Honestly, there’s so much happening here, especially if you know where to look. Sure, sometimes you might have to head up or down the coast, but it's usually worth the trip.

With that in mind, I’ve created something I think we could all use.

Introducing the first of the Sunland Drops: a "What Should I Do?" game for Saint Lucie County. It’s super simple—just a 60-second game that helps you figure out what to do. Answer a few quick questions about your mood, budget, and who you’re with, and you’ll get a personalized list of events happening in the area.

You, the people of Sunland News, are the first to try it before it goes public on social media and beyond. Check it out, and feel free to share it with a friend!

You can play at Play.SunlandNews.com. Enjoy—and let me know what you think! (P.S. The Game is 100% FREE.)

Below, you’ll find all the upcoming events—be sure to click the links to learn more. See you tomorrow!
