There were few leprechauns seen at the Sanford Historic District’s “Alive After 5 - St. Pat’s Day” celebration held on Thursday, March 12, 2015. Although no leprechauns were seen, the “luck of the Irish” was found in the faces of those visiting our Dustin Project Resource table.
Dustin Project had an outreach table with “creative artwork activities” available for visitors on February 13, 2015 at their monthly, “City of Casselberry Art & Music in the Park” community event. Although there were blustery winds on this chilly evening, we had plenty of heart-warming moments engaging with visitors to our table.

On October 9, 2014, Dustin Project participated in Sanford Historic District’s “Alive After 5 Oktoberfest.” Freshly-baked apple strudel was served to those visiting our table, and many returned for a second helping, noting how delicious the strudel tasted. The first picture is our dedication to “Dustin,” in memory of Dustin Garber, who is the foundation on which Dustin Project exists today. Other pictures highlight visitors dressed up for the “Oktoberfest” celebration.
On July 10, 2014, Dustin Project participated in Sanford Historic District’s “Alive After 5 – Blues & Barbeque” event. We served attendees fresh cornbread, Dustin Project brochures, and shared information about our services.
