Centennial 2009

Panama City will be celebrating it's Centennial in 2009. Different cities celebrate in different ways - some bury time capsules, some feature heirloom quilts, many have a parade and/or festival with everyone dressing in period clothing - what will Panama City be doing?
Well, for one thing, they are publishing "City Limits," a literary anthology, a trilogy of collectible books showcasing the best fiction, poetry, memoirs, art and photography produced by, for, and about the Emerald Coast city. There will also be a calendar, featuring works by local artists. You can keep up with what is happening at the official Centennial website . We are setting up a website (still in progress!) that will feature clothing, hairstyles and recipes, among other things, from the 1909 period, for those who are interested. Just for an example, check out Vintage Sewing for patterns for dresses from the 1900-1910 period!
Why not get in the spirit of things and makes this a real celebration!
