Brevard County Manatees News Release


VIERA, FL – The Brevard County Manatees have announced today that the fireworks show that was postponed due to Hurricane Charley this past Saturday will be rescheduled to Friday August 27.

All tickets from any previously rained out fireworks show can be exchanged for this game while tickets from any other rainout can be exchanged with an additional cost.

The fireworks show is brought to you by Space Coast Early Intervention Center which is a nationally recognized not-for-profit pre-school and therapeutic center that offers care and maximizes the development of children with special needs and typically developing children. SCEIC depends solely on grants, fund-raising and donations to support the cost of operating the school.
