Ybor Chamber To License Guavaween
The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce is considering licensing its nationally-known Halloween event, Guavaween, to a third party for 2014. "We think it's time for the Chamber to spin-off this unique special event,"
said David Alvarez, Chair of the Ybor City Chamber.
The Chamber's Guavaween is now in its 28th year. This celebration has been an Ybor institution for almost most three decades; long enough to build a significant national reputation. outside of the district. Guavaween's very colorful and somewhat naughty reputation is a 22nd century phenomena with a web presence that is "larger than life." The creators of Ybor's Guavaween were ahead of their time, capitalizing on what has become the second most commercialized holiday in America.
If you are interested in putting together a proposal to compete to license the rights to Guavaween 2014 and beyond, submit a Letter of Inquiry to the Chamber at
Please, no phone calls at this time.

UCF: The Committee
The Committee
Made by University of Central Florida students and professors, was recently named best documentary at Sanford's Love Your Shorts Film Festival. It tells the story of how a Florida legislative committee led by state Sen. Charley Johns from 1956 to 1965 targeted homosexuals at state universities.
Its effects on the state's universities were long-lasting. Its efforts "degraded the national standing of the universities in Florida and had a lingering effect that was felt several decades after the Johns Committee went out of business," says former Sen.
Bob Graham in the documentary.
