The Rolling Stones are an English rock and blues band formed in 1962 that have become one of the most successful musical acts of all time. The band enjoyed the height of their commercial and critical success during the 1960s and 1970s. The Tangerine Bowl has also been known as Orlando Stadium, the Citrus Bowl, Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium and is currently known as Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. It opened in 1936 and has been home to numerous sporting and entertainment events throughout its existence.

The Rolling Stones 1981 Tour was the first time a band had a corporate sponsorship, allowing Jovan Musk to pay them several million dollars to sponsor the tour without the band having to officially endorse the company. The band explained that "selling out" to corporate sponsors would help keep ticket prices down. The average ticket price was $16 and the tour grossed $50 million in tickets sales, the highest of any tour in 1981. This would be the last time the band toured the United States until 1989.]]> Rock Collection, Central Florida Music History Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Chronopoints]]> Florida Space Coast History Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> Eagle, their Lunar Module.

The award contains images from the play and the address of the Princess Theater, where the play was performed.

Creative Sanford, Inc. is a non-profit organization created to manage Celery Soup community theater productions. The original idea for the Celery Soup project came from Jeanine Taylor, the owner of a folk-art gallery on First Street in Sanford, Florida. Their first production was Touch and Go, a play focusing on the people of Sanford and their determination to overcome various obstacles, including the Freeze of 1894-1895, the fall of Sanford's celery industry, and the closing of Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford in the 1960s. Richard Geer and Jules Corriere, partners from Community Performance International, were in charge of assessing oral histories, converting them into scenes for the play, and writing original songs. Director Geer also used an all-volunteer cast from the local community, many of whom were not experienced actors. In the process of producing the show, Creative Sanford decided to rehabilitate an historic building, the Princess Theater, which is located on 115 West First Street and owned by Stephen Tibstra. The Creative Sanford offices are housed in the Historic Sanford Welcome Center, located at 203 East First Street.]]> Sanford Historic Trust]]> Sanford Historic Trust, Sanford, Florida: Creative Sanford, Inc., Historic Sanford Welcome Center, Sanford, Florida.]]> Sanford Historic Trust, Sanford, Florida.]]> Creative Sanford, Inc., Sanford Welcome Center, Sanford Florida.]]> Celery Soup: Florida’s Folk Life Play Collection, Sanford Collection, Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Thompson, Trish.

The book challenges the misconception that a site located two miles west of New Smyrna was the ruins of a Spanish mission dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus. In the book, Captain Coe demonstrates that the ruins were of a steam sugar and saw mill that was destroyed by Native Americans in 1845, just five years after it was erected. Also known as the New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins, the ruins are located at 600 Old Mission Road in New Smyrna Beach and were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Coe was born in Torrington, Connecticut, on February 3, 1856, to William Henry Coe (1824-1879), who founded the town of Glencoe, and Deborah Little Archer Coe (1824-1912). In 1874, his family migrated to Jacksonville, Florida, due to his father's poor health. At age 18, Coe began working for the Jacksonville Tri-Weekly Union. In 1875, Coe moved to New Smyrna Beach and started his first newspaper, The Florida Star. Coe was appointed Deputy Collector of Customs for the port at New Smyrna in 1879, after his father died. In 1880, Coe moved to Glencoe and began producing photographs. Seven years later, the moved to back to Torrington, where the met and married Emma Sophia Johnson (1846-1931). The following year, Coe moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and then later to Highlands, where the established The Highlands Star. In 1889, the moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the Government Printing Office (GPO).

Coe published Red Patriots: The Story of the Seminoles (1898), a book about the plight of the Seminole tribe. A copy of Red Patriots was given to every member of Congress, which later passed legislation allowing Seminole land rights in Florida. In 1912, Coe returned to Florida and spent the next 20 years traveling the coast in his cabin cruiser called The Buccaneer. After retiring from the GPO in 1921, Coe spent much of his time exploring Florida's coast as an amateur archaeologist and publishing books, including Juggling a Rope (1927) and The Art of Knife Throwing (1931).

The Sanford State Farmers' Market was founded in 1934 in order to provide a central location in which farmers would sell their produce directly to consumers. The idea for the Sanford State Farmers' Market was devised by Fred Dorner and Gus Schmach, both members of the Seminole Agricultural Club. Sanford Chamber of Commerce president Harry Papworth also contributed to the development of the market. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) authorized construction plans on June 11, 1934. On June 20, 1934, the City of Sanford donated a portion of the Alex V. French properties to the State Marketing Board, which selected the northwest corner of French Avenue and Thirteenth Street. The board approved the installation of telegraph and telephone equipment, as well as a three-pump filling station. The Sanford State Farmer's Market opened on December 18, 1934. By 1939, the Farmers' Market was bringing a total volume of business of $627,065.81. In 1941, business volume reached over $700,000. On April 4, 1957, a fire destroyed the building and caused damages estimated at $2.5 million. Reconstruction began almost immediately and the Farmers' Market was expected to re-open by the fall of 1957.

However, neighborhood institutions like the Well's Built Museum of African American History and Culture, housed in the historic Wells’ Built Hotel, have worked to preserve memorabilia from Orlando’s African-American community and the local civil rights movement. Current plans to revitalize the Parramore area focus on maintaining its black heritage and culture while building new businesses, schools, and improved housing.]]> Parramore Collection, Orlando Collection, Orange County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]> RICHES of Central Florida]]> Sanford Collection, Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida.]]> RICHES of Central Florida]]> Sanford Museum, Sanford, Florida.]]> Sanford Museum, Sanford, Florida.]]> Henry L.

Forrest Richard “Dickey” Betts is considered one of the most influential guitar players of the 20th century. He was born in West Palm Beach, raised in Bradenton, and has lived in Sarasota for most of his life. Beginning at age 16, he began performing in a series of rock bands on the Florida circuit. A founding member of the Allman Brothers Band in 1969, Betts matched bandleader Duane Allman lick for lick on electric guitar, writing many of their songs. The guitar duo introduced melodic twin guitar harmony and counterpoint, redefining the traditional rhythm/lead roles of rock guitarists. When Allman died in a motorcycle accident in 1971, Betts and Duane’s brother, Gregg Allman, shared leadership of the band, with Betts becoming the sole guitar player and taking a larger role in writing and singing. Betts wrote and sang on the group’s biggest hit, "Ramblin’ Man" in 1973

Betts recorded his first solo album in 1974, and when the band split up in 1976, he formed Dickey Betts & Great Southern. He rejoined the Allman Brothers Band when they reformed in 1978.The band split up again for several years during the 1980s, reformed again in 1989, and Betts remained with them until he was suspended for substance abuse problems in 2000. He reformed Great Southern that year, adding his son, Duane Betts, on guitar. Along with the Allman Brothers Band, Betts was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.]]> Archive: Concerts Archive, Alicia Lyman.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000ax_QozXAnSg/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000vh2M_YSRX1w/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000Qdud6VMKEyU/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000wRDx4FIsFfw/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I00006M.HvA2EXsM/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I00009rpZ5NxQRV8/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000VSQD9kg0sfA/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000FApIE8cOrW0/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2013-02-24-DICKEY-BETTS-GREAT-SOUTHERN-SPEICAL-GUESTS/G00003hCJm94WJ2k/I0000ZO8CCkujD6s/C0000N3GwcxUcDDU.]]> Rock Collection, Central Florida Music History Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Archive: Concerts Archive, Alicia Lyman.]]> Alicia Lyman.]]> Alicia Lyman and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>

This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.]]> UCF Public History Center, Sanford, Florida.]]> UCF Public History Center, Sanford, Florida.]]> Lucile Campbell Collection, Student Museum and UCF Public History Center Collection, Seminole County Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> UCF Public History Center and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>
