THESE OLD TIMES
FROM THE WINTER GARDEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION
THROWBACK THURSDAY JUNE 17, 1972 21 S. Main St., in downtown Winter Garden, has held many businesses through the years. It currently houses Sweet Dee’s Cupcakery, but in 1982, it was a game room and arcade called Inner-City Family Fun. The operators offered freebies in hopes of drawing crowds of children and teens into the establishment to play games such as Super Pac-Man, Donkey Kong Jr., Q*bert or Tron. In the June 17 issue of The Times, the business advertised free games to students who took in an A or B report card and to anyone wearing a sports uniform.

Juneteenth began as a Texas holiday but is now celebrated annually on June 19 throughout the United States. Officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, it also has been referred to as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day and Black Independence Day. It commemorates the date in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared an end to slavery in that state — two-and-one-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863. Black history is crucial to our total story. The T-shirt was donated to the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation by Chester L. Keith of Atlanta, Georgia, whose family has been established in West Orange County for many years. The seven oranges represent seven brothers who worked the groves for the Roper and Britt citrus growing operations. The Keith Family Reunion was held May 28 in Oakland and honored A.B. Keith Jr.
