Beedie, City Manager From: Carole Jones, Executive Assistant Date: December 11, 2012 Viva Florida 500 1. BACKGROUND: 1. 1. Viva Florida 500 is a major statewide initiative designed to highlight Florida' s 500 years of history since the arrival of Ponce De Leon in 1513. The celebration was created to recognize the state' s progress over the last 500 years in the areas of history, art, and culture and is being organized by the Florida Department of State. Each of Florida' s 67 counties is also conducting their own programs which then dovetail into the statewide effort throughout the 2013 calendar year. 2. DISCUSSION: 2. 1. A major component of Viva Florida 500 is a time capsule representing the history, art, and culture of each county. The Department of State' s Division of Library and Information Sciences has sent each of the counties' main library systems a specially designed canister that will become the county' s time capsule. The Okaloosa Time Capsule Committee, headed up by the Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative and its member- libraries, has begun the effort to fill the Okaloosa County time capsule which will be opened in 2045, the bicentennial of Florida' s statehood. Ideas from all are welcome. 2.2. Other community groups involved so far include Chambers of Commerce, the Touist Development Council, the Emerald Coast Conference Center, the school system, and the museums. 2. 3. An Okaloosa Viva 500 Facebook page has been created, as well as a Pinterest page, to try and get as much community involvement as possible. 2. 4. Any cultural events that the City participates in during 2013, such as Billy Bowlegs, Musical Echoes, art shows, etc., might be linked to the Okaloosa Viva Florida 500 initiative. A logo is available for use in publicity and events may be registered on the statewide website. The contact for registration of events and general information is Kathy Newby, County Information Officer.
