Summer Slam Jam 2009

Stuart -- Martin County Parks and Recreation Project Northland, Teen Advisory Committee (T.A.B.) and the Children's Services Council are partnering with the City of Stuart and the Crexent Business Center hosted this Key West-themed Summer Slam Jam 2009. Summer Slam Jam is a diverse event consisting of local profit and non-profit vendors and crafters, games and rides, a free snack shack, local entertainment and demonstrations in the band shell, as well as the concert on the main stage. "Project Northland was brought to Martin County eight years ago due to the high percentage of drug and alcohol use among teenagers. In 2002, our county was leading the state in teenage alcohol consumption and second for Marijuana. Events like Summer Slam Jam that promote healthy and safe recreation for teens, are important to the community”, and explains Darcy Von Ohlen, Prevention Coordinator for Project Northland.
