• Old Business
The Sanford Museum and the Sanford Historical Society have committed to participating
in the Museum of Seminole County History's centennial celebration in April 2013. The
celebration will begin in January 2013 with various events around the county and there
will be a large event on April 20. Historic Seminole will be developing a passport to the
county's museums that will highlight events on Saturdays from January to April.
The Museum of Seminole County History is collecting memories and photos of the
county and Jim Robison is writing a county history. Mr. Carlson suggested contacting
SGTV about the film footage they have taken in recent years about the history of
Seminole County. He recalled being interviewed for one video called "Beyond City
Limits." The Sanford Museum has been asked for city trivia for Seminole Moments on
SGTV.
Ideas for the April 20 event were discussed. It was decided to create a panel display
about Sanford in 1913 that would also include a list of Sanford "firsts." It was suggested
that the display include ads from 1913 and national news of the time. It should include
the plans for the bulkhead, Woodland Park, and the county fair. Mr. Carlson suggested
reproducing the 1910 Celery Edition of the Sanford Herald and having it for sale during
the centennial. He suggested emphasizing that Sanford is "Where Central Florida
. History Began." He also suggested giving away celery since this was done at the old
fairs. Everyone agreed that celery should be the decorating theme for the museum's tent.

II/ It was also suggested that celery statistics be included. A discussion of the different
county courthouses followed.
New Business
The museum is trying to find information about Arnold Palmer playing in Sanford. It is
believed he may have played in Sanford during his first year on the PGA tour.
The Sanford Museum has sent historical information and photos to the Florida League of
Cities for the Viva Florida 500 website. Since Viva Florida 500 can include any event in
the past 500 years, the county centennial will probably be included in this statewide
celebration.
Mr. Carlson suggested the museum consider a centennial exhibit of 100 years of bad
news which would include all the sensational death and disaster in Sanford's past. Since
the county observance is including dates before 1913, this could include the Big Fire of
1887 and the Great Freeze.
Ms. Oliver announced the Goldsboro Historical Museum will be hosting a community art
festival on Historic Goldsboro Boulevard on October 27, 2012. The event is called
Goldsboro Takes Center Stage and will include a tribute to City Commissioner Velma
Williams on October 26. This event will reintroduce Goldsboro to Sanford. The museum
• is also working to acquire a building across the street that can be used for education and
meetings.
The possibility of producing museum ads on business cards was discussed. These could
be done for several museums to easily give the public the hours of operation and
admission fees.
Ms. Oliver shared her experience with Facebook. She said museum should be careful to
allow only limited public access to their pages or they will be overwhelmed with
comments. Ms. Best suggested everyone look at the Facebook sites "I grew up in
Sanford" and "We grew up in Sanford." There are hundreds of photos on these pages.
The next meeting will be October 2, 2012 at 4:30PM
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:15PM.
