Meet Rosie Cannon!

If you’ve visited the Sanford Welcome Center during the week, you’ve probably been greeted by Rosie’s friendly smile! As a part-time employee at the Welcome Center, Rosie works the front desk and has become a staple in keeping the Welcome Center running smoothly.

Whether she’s welcoming visitors, answering questions, or helping people discover all that Historic Downtown Sanford has to offer, Rosie is always ready to lend a helping hand. Her dedication and welcoming personality make her an important part of the Sanford Main Street team!

Outside of the Welcome Center, Rosie is a member of the Elks Lodge and enjoys spending time with her family, including her children and grandchildren. Family and community are a big part of who Rosie is!

And here’s a fun fact about Rosie: she loves pineapples! 🍍 So, the next time you stop by the Welcome Center, be sure to say hello and see if you can spot a little pineapple inspiration!

We are incredibly grateful for Rosie and all she does to help make the Sanford Welcome Center a warm and welcoming place for residents and visitors alike.

SANFORD SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT 🌟
​Meet Amber Babcock!
​If you love downtown Sanford, chances are you’ve felt the impact of Amber’s passion, energy, and deep dedication to our community. She is a wonderful person, a hands-on local business owner, and an incredible champion for our city.
​Amber wears many hats to keep Sanford shining—she serves on the Sanford Historical Society board and leads the way as the chair of our Sanford Main Street Mercantile Sub-Committee!
​And when it came to our Sanford Main Street sloth t-shirt program, Amber was nothing short of PIVOTAL. Rallying a dedicated crew of volunteers through her business, Whisker Works, she organized, packed, and shipped roughly 3,000 sloth shirts to supporters all across the country! 🦥📦✨
​From celebrating our local history to elevating downtown retail and rolling up her sleeves whenever help is needed, Amber is truly vital to our community. We are beyond grateful to have her here making Sanford a brighter, more vibrant place to live, shop, and visit. ❤️

James is an entrepreneur, technology expert, creative visionary, and proud Sanford Main Street Board member. From running his IT business, People First Computers, to helping local brands like Sanfording grow their digital presence, James loves bringing big ideas to life!

One of his biggest contributions is the complete redevelopment of the Sanford Main Street website! More than a fresh new look, it features a downtown business directory, community events, volunteer opportunities, and tools to better serve Sanford’s businesses, residents, and visitors.

But James isn’t stopping at technology! He’s bringing a little magic downtown with The Dragon Vault, an immersive adventure bar inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones. 🐉

SANFORD SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Meet Pamela Lynch!

If you love seeing Historic Downtown Sanford thrive while keeping its historic charm intact, you have dedicated leaders like Pam to thank! On top of serving on our Sanford Main Street Board of Directors, Pam works for the City of Sanford in the Economic Development Department. Lately, she has been pouring incredible time, care, and hustle into her role with our Economic Vitality Committee.

The Economic Vitality Committee is a core pillar of the Main Street America program. In a nutshell, its mission is all about making sure downtown stays economically strong: helping fill empty storefronts, attracting great ventures, and ensuring our existing small businesses continue to grow and prosper.

Pam recently took on a massive, detail-heavy milestone: conducting a comprehensive assessment of the buildings throughout our Main Street district and uploading all of that critical data into BOOMS (Building Opportunities on Main Street). It is an invaluable tool for our community, and Pam took on the tedious project single-handedly—crossing the finish line well ahead of schedule!

Up next, our Economic Vitality team is working on completing an updated business roll for the district to keep our local business directory completely current. We are beyond grateful for Pam’s vision, expertise, and heart for Sanford!

Head over to sanfordmainstreet.com to explore our brand-new website and see the digital tools helping us reach our Economic Vitality goals!
