Alive and well July 2010. Please report to sahjordan@yAHOO.com if you find it.
On February 12, 1913, representatives from five towns on the bay, met at Panama City for the purpose of selecting a name for the proposed new County. After discussion the name BAY was selected as one which would be satisfactory to the majority of the citizens, and as being distinctive of the territory that would be included. On July 1, 1913, Bay County was created by the Legislature from portions of Washington, Calhoun and Walton counties. The Nativity of Bay County was fittingly honored by a celebration in the City Park, now known as McKenzie Park. Picnic baskets were brought by the attendees while barbecued meats furnished by the City were served to all. Additional attractions were music, boat races, baseball and swimming matches.
The newly selected legislators held their first meetinhttp://www.kalynskitchen.com/2007/01/how-to-make-pot-roast-in-crockpot.htmlg on Monday, July 10, 1913, in rooms secured over the Bank of Panama City. The session was informal, but later in the day the commissioners met in the Owl's Nest on the dock at the end of Harrison Avenue and began strenuous work. Immediate plans were made for construction of a Courthouse, the corner stone was laid in December, 1914 and the building dedicated in December, 1915. On December 20, 1920, the Courthouse was severely damaged by fire and lost the beautiful dome that supported four clocks. However, the outer walls survived, the building was reconstructed and continues to serve as the Bay County Courthouse to this date.
We placed this letterbox in honor of our daughter's birthplace. She was born in Panama City since we lived here when her Daddy was stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base. We lived in a house on Harvard Blvd in Lynn Haven until she was 6 months old and then moved to TX. This was in the years 1999 - 2000 (Y2K). We visited the area recently and placed the box while there at a park that we would walk to frequently.
SINCE WE ARE SO FAR AWAY, WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP US TO MAINTAIN IT. If you are interested, please email me at sahjordan@yahoo.com.
We let her pick the stamp. She chose the poem footprints in the sand since the beach will always remind us of that.
Clues:
From Hwy 77 turn East on Hwy 390 (there is a CVS and a Walgreens on the corner of this intersection). Travel east on 390 until you reach Harvard Blvd. Turn left on Harvard Blvd. Isaac Byrd Park is located on the bay at the end of Harvard Blvd.
Directions to the letterbox:
Walk to the sign that says 'Isaac Byrd Park.'. The box should be located under the sign.
Please let us know when you find it and it's condition. My daughter is very excited about placing it and people finding it.
