January 9, 2017 – Bailey’s General Store will be the Grand Sponsor of the Sanibel Historical Village’s 2018 “Let’s Get Historical” Gala. The gala begins at 6 p.m. on February 19 in The Community House. This year’s theme is “Leave Your Footsteps in the Sand.”
“We are so happy and grateful to have Bailey’s as our Grand Sponsor,” said village Executive Director Emilie Alfino. “The village owes a big debt of gratitude to the Bailey family. Sam Bailey was instrumental in forming the village in the first place, and several of our buildings were donated by the Bailey family. I could go on and on listing all of the things the Baileys have done for us.”
The February 19 event will include music by Kelly & Shelly, a husband-and-wife duo with a versatile style. Performing together for more than 25 years, Kelly & Shelly will be playing plenty of music for dancing. Sanibel Catering Co. by Bailey’s will cater the gala. Known for excellence throughout the island, they will be offering three dinner choices: filet medallions and shrimp, chicken marsala, and pesto-crusted Atlantic salmon.
Tickets are still available for $125 each, and sponsor levels are available at $1,000 and $500. For tickets, contact Emilie Alfino at 472-4648 or via email at info@sanibelmuseum.org.
