FORT PIERCE \u2014 The sky over downtown Fort Pierce became the stage Friday night as Pursuit Boats marked its 50th year with a spectacular 300-drone light show.<\/p>\n
The custom aerial performance transformed the night sky above the waterfront into a moving canvas of boats, marine images and glowing shapes. Created by Aerial Illuminations, the show began at 8 p.m. as the finale to Friday Fest at Marina Square.<\/p>\n
From the Fort Pierce City Marina and nearby walkways, spectators watched the illuminated drones sweep, shift and form three-dimensional images overhead.<\/p>\n
The performance ended with Pursuit\u2019s \u201cMade for Generations\u201d message.<\/p>\n
The evening also served as a thank-you to the employees, dealers, owners and Treasure Coast community that have been part of Pursuit\u2019s story.<\/p>\n
Pursuit began in 1977 when Leon Slikkers launched the brand as a saltwater fishing line within S2 Yachts. The company established a Fort Pierce facility in 1983 and has expanded its local manufacturing operations over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT PIERCE \u2014 The sky over downtown Fort Pierce became the stage Friday night as Pursuit Boats marked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[171,173,172,563],"class_list":["post-419453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-st_lucie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
