SANFORD SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT 👑

Bow down to Sanford royalty! This Saturday, we’re shining the light on Steve and Bonnie Ackard—affectionately known around town as the Duke and Duchess of Downtown.

When it comes to dedication, generosity, and pure heart, Steve and Bonnie truly reign supreme. (And yes, their adorable four-legged co-pilots are just as legendary! 🐾)

Whenever something needs doing in our historic district, you can count on this incredible duo to roll up their sleeves. They are always the first to lend a hand, support a local initiative, and ensure everyone around them feels welcomed.

As vital members of the 77 Army, Steve and Bonnie set the standard for what it means to pour love back into your town. We are endlessly grateful for everything they do for our community!

👇 Ready to stand alongside our Duke and Duchess in service? Sign up for the 77 Army at https://www.sanfordmainstreet.com/volunteer!

Downtown Sanford is coming together for the sloths. 🦥💚

After the heartbreaking rescue of 13 sloths from the failed “Sloth World” facility in Orlando, the team at Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens has been working nonstop to give these animals the care they deserve. Sadly, some have passed due to severe neglect and malnutrition, but the fight to save the remaining sloths continues. 🌿

To help support their medical care and rehabilitation, Sanford Main Street is selling “Help Us Hang In There” fundraiser t-shirts, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the sloth rescue efforts. 🙌

🦥 $35 Unisex Tees📍Sanford Information Center, 230 E. 1st St. in Downtown Sanford

Huge shoutout to the Sanford Main Street board members, Patty Mahany for helping make this happen, Ashley Schmidt for the creative t-shirt design, and to Sunshine State Threads for the lightning-fast turnaround! 👏

Grab a shirt, spread the word, and help these sweet babies hang in there. 💚
