The celebration in the Capitol courtyard included a live band, some of Tallahassee\u2019s iconic restaurants and lessons on the city\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The theme for the celebration is “ambitious from the beginning.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as a community are ambitious to create, ambitious to innovate, educate, were always about growing, inspiring and achieving,” says Visit Tallahassee’s Kerri Post.<\/p>\n

Post has been a Tallahassee resident for 25 years, and she says she has seen Tallahassee evolve into a community that she is proud to call home.<\/p>\n

She says when she first moved here, Tallahassee’s unique districts, like MIdtown and College Town hadn’t yet been created.<\/p>\n

“It’s wonderful to see Tallahassee growing in all these different parts of the community,” Post says.<\/p>\n

Post also praised the legislature for its recognition of Tallahassee as more than just the where the Capitol building sits “but we as a community are Florida’s capital.”<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in the House and Senate passed resolutions recognizing the bicentennial. Tallahassee Democratic Representative Allison Tant, says this is a monumental year for Tallahassee, but as she presented the resolution from Florida\u2019s historic Capitol building she said it was also a moment of personal importance for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the first legislative body to meet in this chamber to conduct the people’s business since 1977. And my husband, Barry Richard was a member, the last class of the legislatures to conduct in this very body,” Tant said.<\/p>\n

About two hundred years ago, the legislature appointed two people to find a place for Florida\u2019s new capital. They rode on horseback from St. Augustine and Pensacola\u2014meeting in the middle on land now known as Tallahassee. <\/p>\n
