Arcadia California wrote LM&PR....
"We're working on a great Seasbiscuit exhibit, set to open at the end
of July at our Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum (run by
the Library) and I'd love to have something to giveaway!"
Arcadia Public Library: The Library's Arcadia History Collection supports
the Library's mission to collect and preserve materials relating to the
cultural and intellectual heritage of the City of Arcadia. Included is
memorabilia of Santa Anita Racetrack the official home of Seabiscuit.
Many of the city's locals were extras in the movie much of which was
filmed at the local Santa Anita Racetrack the official home of Seabiscuit.
OK Carolyn and everyone else -- here you go!
Horse Around With Seabiscuit
Universal Studios is releasing, and heavily promoting, a major motion
picture based on Linda Hillenbrand's excellent, Seabiscuit: An American
Legend (Random House, 2001). Expect this film to be fodder for a huge
increase in interest in horse racing including the Great Depression,
sports, folk heroes, the rise of radio and creation of a national media
audience, American success stories, regional rivalries, the rise of the
automobile and decline of the horse, and the legalization of gambling.
So don't stall - assemble a display of horse racing books and references
materials that will be ready to break from the gate when the movie is
released - then watch your patrons jockey for position to check out
those books. To give you a leg-up we have prepared a nifty LM&PR
bookmark (seabis_bkmk1.pdf - 93KB) with a horse race theme.
