Event Description

A. Parker's Books and Book Bazaar, located at 1488 Main Street, Downtown Sarasota is happy to be a sponsor, among many others, of the 23nd Annual Owen Burns Celebration - Honoring John Hamilton Gillespie, the man responsible for bringing the game of golf to Sarasota and to America.  All Golf books at our store are discounted 10% during the week of October 24th through the 30th, 2011 (Discount does not Apply to Books Purchased Through Our Store Credit Accounts).  We also donated a Gift Certificate for the winner of 1st Annual Kiwanis-John Hamilton Gillespie Charity Golf Tournament, to be hosted at the Serenoa Golf Club, October 28th, 2011.

 

Additionally, during the week of the Celebration, A. Parker's Books and Book Bazaar is proud to be able to give a 25% discount on this large Wooden Plaque, depicting a Golfer from a by-gone era, almost certainly modeled after Gillespie.  The plaque was purchased many years ago and was saved from the Mira Mar Casino, Siesta Key, an early icon (late 1920s to early 1930s) in Sarasota's history.  We look forward to seeing you in our store and wish the organizers best of luck in the success of this year's Owen Burns Celebration and the Kiwanis Charity Golf Tournament.



Donations to the Owen Burns Celebration benefit the projects of the Friends of the Sarasota County History Center.
