When: Saturday, March 7, 2009
Where: Sanford Civic Center, 401 East Seminole Blvd. Historic Downtown Sanford
Why: Driving Sanford’s renaissance by celebrating and preserving our community’s stories.
The non-profit organization, Creative Sanford, Inc. will celebrate its inaugural Masquerade Celery Ball on Saturday, March 7th, 2009. At this fun and exciting masquerade ball a Celery King and Queen will be crowned. Candidates have been fund raising since September in an effort to win the coveted crown.
Guests will be dancing through the years with live music performed by “Then 2 Now”. Samplings of culinary delights prepared by local restaurants will be served.
The highlight of the evening will be a “taste of Celery Soup”, a vignette of the 2010 debut performance written and directed by nationally known play right, Jules Corriere. It will be an evening of community pride you won’t want to miss!
Jeanine Taylor, President of Creative Sanford, Inc. explains, "Our board wants the tickets to be affordable and include the entire community in this celebration that will mirror the pride that the performance, Celery Soup will bring to Sanford."
Proceeds from the Masquerade Celery Ball 2009 will support Creative Sanford, Inc. which is a non profit 501c3 organization dedicated to the development of Celery Soup, a folk life performance using the stories and history of Sanford and Seminole County, performed by volunteers from the community.
Our mission is:
To fulfill big dreams by providing unlimited, creative opportunities for instilling pride, stimulating economic elevation and promoting our hometown heritage for future generations.

Who are we?
Formed in 1994, the Seminole Cultural Arts Council is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a member of the Florida Association of Local Arts Agencies and ACE (Arts for a Complete Education).
The Council serves, supports and nurtures the cultural and artistic needs of the county. It is an advocate for the preservation of local cultural and historic heritage, including performing, literary, visual arts and sciences and serves to sustain, develop and advance the cultural life of Seminole County.

With this and other funding, financial support and grants, services, programs and information are provided to arts and cultural organizations, individual artists and the community. During 1996, a high-profile group of business and community leaders formed an active Arts Council Board of Directors.
