January 30, 2019 – The Sanibel Historical Village has recently announced that Sanibel Catering by Bailey’s will be a gold sponsor of its February 19, 2019, Historical Village Gala. The event is currently sold out.
The historical village has a long history with the pioneer Bailey family. In fact, the Bailey’s donated several of the buildings in the village, including the Old Bailey Store, the Post Office, and Miss Charlotta’s Tea Room.
“Here at the village, we feel intrinsically linked with the Baileys and very proud of our long relationship,” said Historical Village Executive Director Emilie Alfino. “The presence of Sam and Francis is always felt. To have the support of now four generations of the Bailey family means the world to us.”
“The Historical Village is an integral part of the community and our family’s heritage. We’re so blessed to be able to add to the future of the museum,” said Calli Johnson.
