The Thomasville History Center is celebrating the 99^th Annual Rose Show & Festival with a special edition of the popular “Do You Remember?” community conversation program on Thursday, April 23, at 10am.

Part viewing party part conversation, the program will feature footage from early Rose Festival Parades that were recently digitized as a part of a 2019 Digital Library of Georgia Grant. Though silent, the films convey the community’s excitement for the first several parades and the growth of the event in the 1960s. The film footage was donated to the History Center by Joe May in 2005.

The program will begin at 10am at the Thomasville History Center located at 725 N. Dawson Street. The program is presented free of charge and is open to all. General parking is available on Dawson Street and accessible parking is available in the lot located at the end of the History Center’s driveway.
