FROM THE CHAMBER<br />

Welcome to<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong><br />

On behalf of the Greater <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

<strong>Chamber</strong> of Commerce, we’d like to<br />

welcome you to <strong>Sebring</strong>, Florida!<br />

Whether you are here to work, live, or play,<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> offers something for<br />

everyone’s lifestyle and pace.<br />

Many find themselves in Central<br />

Florida to escape the hustle and bustle of “big<br />

city living” while still enjoying the convenience of<br />

all the amenities right here at home. Others relish<br />

the lower cost of living compared to other Florida<br />

cities. Others just appreciate the friendly locals<br />

who enjoy one another’s company and give downhome<br />

service with a smile and still appreciate<br />

Southern hospitality. Even another reason to<br />

fall in love with <strong>Sebring</strong> are the dozen awardwinning<br />

golf courses, where a round of golf<br />

doesn’t have to break the bank. Yet we find that<br />

one of the most attractive things about <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

and Highlands County is the<br />

natural beauty that abounds,<br />

from the over 100 lakes to<br />

enjoy fishing, boating, and<br />

watersports, to being home<br />

to legendary Highlands<br />

Hammock State Park, one of<br />

the oldest in Florida.<br />

If you’re looking for traffic jams and an<br />

hour-long wait at your favorite restaurant, you’ve<br />

come to the wrong place. If you’re looking to<br />

relax, unwind, and live the stress-free Florida<br />

lifestyle, you’ve come to the right place!<br />

WELCOME<br />

TO SEBRING<br />

Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong> 17


WELCOME TO SEBRING<br />

In September 2017, Florida Rentals named<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> one of the four most beautiful<br />

Florida towns off the beaten path. The<br />

blog cited <strong>Sebring</strong>’s growing year-round<br />

population, nestled among rivers, lakes and<br />

citrus groves, as proof that the community is a<br />

must-visit.<br />

And in May 2018, <strong>Sebring</strong> landed in the<br />

New York Post as one of the seven best<br />

Florida escapes. Highlands Hammock State<br />

Park, the Lake Wales Ridge National Wildlife<br />

Refuge, <strong>Sebring</strong> International Raceway, nearby<br />

championship golf courses, airboat excursions<br />

and local eateries were cited as reasons <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

made the list.<br />

It’s no wonder <strong>Sebring</strong> is one of Florida’s<br />

hidden gems.<br />

Ralph Lyon<br />

History<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> continues to extend the<br />

same warm welcome it has since<br />

it was founded in 1912 by Ohio<br />

industrialist George <strong>Sebring</strong>.<br />

The pioneer visionary designed a<br />

circular plan as a focal point for the<br />

entire lakeside community he visioned<br />

as “The City on the Circle.” George<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong>’s idea was that all roads<br />

would radiate from the center of the<br />

community. Despite many modern<br />

improvements, his design remains<br />

essentially the same today as when the<br />

18 Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

concept was still a sketch.<br />

Archival records indicate the<br />

founder’s “Circle Plan” for the<br />

downtown area was based on the<br />

design of Heliopolis, an ancient<br />

Egyptian city.<br />

The unique design of the new<br />

town quickly caught the attention of<br />

investors, real estate entrepreneurs<br />

and bankers who were drawn to the<br />

layout of the community, seeing it as<br />

a potential financial bonanza. Adding<br />

to the allure was the development<br />

of cattle ranches and citrus groves<br />

complemented by connections via<br />

Seaboard Air Line Railroad’s famous<br />

“Orange Blossom Special” to other<br />

cities across the nation’s eastern<br />

coastline.<br />

By the mid-1920s, the population<br />

of <strong>Sebring</strong> had grown nearly<br />

fourfold, and much of the city’s<br />

early development had reached its<br />

peak. The City on the Circle had<br />

developed into the business mecca<br />

George <strong>Sebring</strong> had envisioned. But<br />

the demand for housing outpaced<br />

the ability of developers’ ability to<br />

construct. That didn’t stop Biltmore<br />

investors from financing the $30<br />

million development of Harder Hall<br />

as a major resort complex complete

with its own golf course and home sites.<br />

By the late 1920s, an end to the boom brought<br />

fraudulent land sales, railroad embargoes and clogged<br />

shipyards. The City of <strong>Sebring</strong> suffered along with the<br />

rest of the nation following the stock market’s “Crash<br />

of ‘29.” But the area got a tremendous boost from the<br />

establishment of Highlands Hammock State Park —<br />

Florida’s very first state park — and the construction of<br />

Hendrick’s Field by the U.S. Army Air Force. Today, the<br />

airfield is home to <strong>Sebring</strong> Regional Airport.<br />

Downtown <strong>Sebring</strong> has since been designated a 1920s<br />

Historic District on the National Register of Historic<br />

Places.<br />

Area pride and excitement was revived in the 1950s<br />

when annual international sports car racing began at the<br />

airport, utilizing many of the concrete runways built<br />

during the facility’s years as a military flight training base.<br />

The world-renowned Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

Presented by Advance Auto Parts continues today as the<br />

oldest sports car race of its kind in North America.<br />

Like many central business districts in America,<br />

downtown <strong>Sebring</strong> suffered a slump in the 1970s that<br />

began to correct itself a decade later. With an eye on<br />

the future, the <strong>Sebring</strong> City Council — through special<br />

legislation — created the Community Redevelopment<br />

Agency (CRA) to spearhead development and<br />

improvements in the downtown area. As a result, <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

was named a Florida Main Street Community in 1966<br />

and subsequently invested more than $20 million in<br />

renovations and upgrades.<br />

Today, downtown <strong>Sebring</strong> offers a unique blend of<br />

shops, restaurants and professional businesses, including<br />

hometown newspaper “The Highlands News-Sun,” which<br />

Nature<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> sits atop a unique feature of Florida. The<br />

Lake Wales Ridge is the highest and oldest part of the<br />

peninsula. The first sandy islands that rose from the sea<br />

millions of years ago are now part of the Ridge. Those<br />

years of isolation gave the Ridge an ecosystem unlike<br />

any in the world.<br />

The tallest trees, scrub oaks, are gnarled dwarfs only<br />

chest to head high. Without a canopy, the sun’s rays beat<br />

down oven hot; the ground is white,<br />

beach-grade, sugar sand; flowers<br />

are tiny, and many plants are spiny.<br />

Animals like the scrub jay, the sand<br />

skink and the gopher tortoise are<br />

found only here.<br />

South Florida State College’s<br />

Wayside Shrine Trail offers a walk<br />

through a patch of the scrub, with<br />

signposts pointing out some of the<br />

unique plants along the way. You<br />

can also bike and hike the trails in<br />

the Preserve area of the Sun ’n Lake<br />

Improvement District.<br />

Archbold Biological Station in<br />

Venus and Lake June-in-Winter Scrub<br />

State Park in Lake Placid are areas<br />

set aside to preserve the endangered<br />

scrub. There is also the Hickory<br />

Hammock Wildlife Management Area<br />

to the east on U.S. 98.<br />

But there is more than just the<br />

Ridge. On the west side of the county<br />

is Highlands Hammock State Park,<br />

which is the beginning of a watershed<br />

that takes water from the Ridge and<br />

Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong> 21


WELCOME TO SEBRING<br />

South Florida State College<br />

ultimately into the Gulf of Mexico.<br />

The park opened to the public in<br />

1931, four years before the state park<br />

system was established. The park was<br />

brought into existence by a group of<br />

local citizens who were determined to<br />

save the virgin hardwood forest and<br />

its surrounding swamp and scrub land<br />

from being turned into farms.<br />

Covering 9,000-plus acres, the park<br />

offers camping and picnic areas as<br />

well as miles of walking and biking<br />

trails that take visitors past 1,000-yearold<br />

trees and across cypress swamps<br />

via a catwalk system.<br />

Be sure to take the time to<br />

experience the unique natural beauty<br />

that the <strong>Sebring</strong> area has to offer.<br />

Racing<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong>’s greatest claim to<br />

fame is that it is home to <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

International Raceway, a worldrenown<br />

race track that is recognized<br />

as one of the most demanding race<br />

tracks on both cars and drivers. For<br />

this reason, the track is a favorite test<br />

facility for racing teams from all over<br />

the country, both for sportscar teams<br />

and IndyCar, which holds several tests<br />

at the track on an annual basis.<br />

The biggest event is naturally the<br />

Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

Presented by Advance Auto Parts,<br />

which will next take place March 13-<br />

16, 2019.<br />

The 2019 edition also marks the<br />

return of the World Endurance<br />

Championship, featuring the best<br />

sportscar racing teams in the world,<br />

and well-known drivers, such<br />

as former Formula 1 champion<br />

Fernando Alonso.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> is race No. 7 on the ninerace<br />

WEC Super Season schedule,<br />

with only the 6 Hours of Spa-<br />

Francorchaps and the 24 Hours of<br />

Le Mans remaining after the teams<br />

partake in the 1,000 Miles of <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

on Friday, March 15, giving race fans<br />

two great feature races to watch and<br />

the only time the LMP1 cars will race<br />

in North America in 2019.<br />

With <strong>Sebring</strong>'s rich sportscar<br />

history, it's only fitting the track is a<br />

favorite venue for vintage sportscar<br />

racing and 2019 will see several<br />

big events, with Historic Sportscar<br />

Racing holding its all-new <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

Spring Fling at SIR on March 29-31,<br />

the first race of the HSR season.<br />

Tickets are available at hsrtickets.com.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> Raceway is also the<br />

home to the final stop of the HSR<br />

season, the annual Historic Sportscar<br />

Racing <strong>Sebring</strong> Classic 12, Pistons<br />

and Props, Presented by Alan Jay<br />

Automotive Network, which takes<br />

place Dec. 5-8.<br />

Cars from the 1950s up through<br />

newer cars will be racing during the<br />

weekend, which has been patterned<br />

after the immensely popular Classic<br />

24 Hour at Daytona, so there isn’t<br />

just one 12-hour race, but a series of<br />

races that begin one right after the<br />

other, so fans can see all the different<br />

types of cars on hand. Racing on<br />

Saturday, Dec. 7, will go well into the<br />

evening, for those who enjoy night<br />

racing.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong>'s rich aviation is also<br />

recognized, as there will be a classic<br />

plane fly-in and the planes will be on<br />

display at the track. Tickets for Pistons<br />

and Props will also be found at<br />

hsrtickets.com when they go on sale<br />

to the public. ■<br />

Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong> 29


Retire in style<br />

SEBRING LIVING<br />

Since its earliest days, <strong>Sebring</strong> has been a mecca<br />

for senior citizens. Comfortable weather, affordable<br />

housing, an active social scene and plentiful choices<br />

for medical care are important factors today, just as<br />

they were in decades past.<br />

Respect shown by younger generations helps make<br />

elders feel at home here. All that is enhanced by a<br />

business community that cherishes its seniors and<br />

their combined shopping power. An added plus is a<br />

regional Social Security Administration office tucked<br />

behind Fairmont Plaza with a staff ready to answer<br />

any and all questions.<br />

Activities geared toward seniors are as diverse<br />

as our community ─ from sitting on a bench and<br />

“people watching” at downtown’s Circle Park to<br />

spending time with friends at the Senior Recreation<br />

Center on Pine Street or showing your athletic<br />

prowess during one of the many events that are<br />

part of the annual Heartland Senior Games, held in<br />

February.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> is home to several 55+ communities, many<br />

offering on-site social and recreational activities.<br />

with campuses in Highlands, DeSoto and Hardee counties<br />

– is one of 28 colleges within the Florida College System<br />

and serves around 16,000 students a year.<br />

In 2015, South Florida State College celebrated its 50th<br />

anniversary. The 228-acre Highlands campus is located<br />

two miles south of Avon Park on an isthmus, bounded<br />

on the north by Lake Lelia, to the south by Lake Glenada,


and to the west by U.S. 27.<br />

A public college, the institution<br />

offers college credit certificates,<br />

occupational certificates, and<br />

associate degrees in more than 60<br />

fields of study as well as Bachelor<br />

of Science degrees in nursing<br />

and elementary education, and<br />

a Bachelor of Applied Science<br />

degree in business management and<br />

Through the SFSC University<br />

Center, SFSC partners with other<br />

four-year colleges and universities<br />

to offer selected bachelor’s and<br />

master’s degrees. Specialized courses<br />

are geared for adult education needs<br />

and course work is offered through<br />

a combination of traditional<br />

RECREATION<br />

50 Welcome to <strong>Sebring</strong>


Golfing<br />

It isn’t hard to figure out the most<br />

popular sport in Highlands County.<br />

With 17 public golf courses adding<br />

up to 140 holes and the weather<br />

that makes it possible to play almost<br />

any day of the year, hitting the links<br />

is a popular activity locally and an<br />

attraction that draws tourists and new<br />

residents alike to the Greater <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

area.<br />

Ten of those courses are in the<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> area, with two more —<br />

Highland Ridge North and South<br />

— technically being in Avon Park but<br />

sitting closer to downtown <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

than its neighbor to the north.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong>’s first golf course was<br />

carved out of the pines and oaks<br />

just a pitching wedge away from the<br />

shores of Lake Jackson. The first<br />

nine holes were built along with the<br />

Harder Hall hotel back in the 1930s.<br />

RECREATION<br />

In the 1950s, those holes<br />

were given to the city and<br />

are now part of the <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

Golf Club, known to locals<br />

as “the Muni,” when Harder<br />

Hall built its 18-hole course<br />

across Golfview Road. That<br />

course annually hosts the<br />

best amateur female golfers<br />

in the world for the Harder<br />

Hall Women’s Invitational,<br />

which has an alumni list that<br />

reads like an LPGA all-star<br />

event.<br />

Sun ’n Lake features<br />

two championship length<br />

courses, as does Spring<br />

Lake, which also has an executive<br />

course. The Country<br />

Club of <strong>Sebring</strong> course sits<br />

on the edge of Highlands<br />

Hammock State Park, and<br />

nearby Golf Hammock<br />

winds its way through the<br />

pines in a unique layout.<br />

For those wanting a quick<br />

round, <strong>Sebring</strong> Golf Links<br />

on the Parkway offers an<br />

executive-length nine-hole<br />

layout.<br />

The <strong>Sebring</strong>-based Sertoma<br />

Junior Golf Tour<br />

uses the county’s courses<br />

each summer to help educate<br />

the next generation of<br />

golfers. Most courses have<br />

on-site driving ranges and<br />

fully stocked pro shops and<br />

restaurants.<br />

From long to short, challenging<br />

to forgiving, historic<br />

to modern, <strong>Sebring</strong> and the<br />

rest of Highlands County<br />

has something to offer golfers<br />

of all ages.<br />

The 29th annual ING<br />

PRICE & SELECTION<br />

RIGHT ON TARGET<br />

Outdoors<br />

A high quality of life enjoyed in the Greater <strong>Sebring</strong><br />

area and all of Highlands County is due, in part, to the<br />

seemingly endless opportunities for recreational activities.<br />

The mild climate invites residents and visitors to enjoy a<br />

wide variety of outdoor activities on a year-round basis.<br />

The county has numerous lakes — more than 100 in<br />

all, but 87 with names — most with access for fishing,<br />

boating, swimming, water skiing and newer trends such as<br />

tubing.<br />

Famed for its largemouth bass fishing, sprawling Lake<br />

Istokpoga is just south of the <strong>Sebring</strong> area and boasts<br />

several fish camps and numerous fishing guides. In July<br />

2018, Bassmaster Magazine released its listing of the top<br />

100 bass lakes in the U.S. and <strong>Sebring</strong>'s Lake Istokpoga<br />

was No. 7 on the list of Southeastern U.S. lakes.<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong>’s gem is Lake Jackson, which is also known for<br />

its share of big bass. City owned and maintained beaches<br />

on Lake Jackson are popular spots for family recreation.<br />

Arbuckle Creek to the north and the Kissimmee River<br />

to the east, along with 19 county parks and 44 countymaintained<br />

boat ramps, provide residents and guests with<br />

diverse opportunities to enjoy water sports. There aren’t<br />

many days that go by when you don’t see multiple boats<br />

out on Lake Jackson, usually with somebody at the end of<br />

a ski rope behind them.<br />

Besides golf, fishing may be the biggest draw to the<br />

<strong>Sebring</strong> area. Largemouth bass are the most popular<br />

target, but our lakes, ponds and creeks, as well as the<br />

Kissimmee River, which marks the eastern boundary of<br />

the county, are teeming with all kinds of fish. Crappies<br />

(locals call them specks) are the most popular panfish<br />

sought by anglers and almost each body of water has a<br />

catfish or two swimming in it.<br />

Hunters also have plenty of<br />

opportunities, although the hunting sites<br />

are all on private property or part of<br />

government lands. The biggest is the<br />

Avon Park Air Force Range, northeast of<br />

Avon Park (in Polk County). An active<br />

military installation, the Range boasts<br />

106,000 acres, giving plenty of room for<br />

military maneuvers and hunting camps<br />

to co-exist. The Range annually gives<br />

out passes to hunt deer, turkey, hogs<br />

and quail and is also a great place for<br />

camping and fishing.<br />

Nature lovers have numerous choices<br />

for hiking, camping, picnicking and bird<br />

watching. Highlands Hammock State<br />

Park features exciting and informative<br />

hiking trails and boardwalks — some<br />

of which are wheelchair accessible.<br />

The state park — the first in Florida<br />

— covers 9,000-plus acres and offers<br />

camping and picnic areas, as well as<br />

miles of walking and biking trails and<br />

narrated tram tours through miles of<br />

well-preserved native wilderness.<br />

will be pleased with the abundance of<br />

opportunities in the area. The Great<br />

Florida Birding Trail runs through the<br />

county and in our parks and wildlands,<br />

residents and visitors can see alligators,<br />

deer, otters, armadillos, bears, dozens of<br />

varieties of birds, as well as other wildlife.<br />

In and around <strong>Sebring</strong> and Highlands<br />

kite, sandhill crane, osprey and bald<br />

eagle — all in their natural habitat.<br />

South Florida State College’s Wayside<br />

Fitness<br />

While there is ample opportunity to<br />

kick back and relax in the <strong>Sebring</strong> area,<br />

there is also plenty for those who want<br />

to work up a sweat. With ample sunny<br />

days and plenty of less-traveled roads,<br />

there is plenty of room for workouts.<br />

The biggest gathering of fitness buffs<br />

is the Heartland Triathlon, which began<br />

in 2006.<br />

A triathlon is a true challenge, and<br />

there are two different races for adults<br />

during the triathlon weekend, which<br />

is held annually in June. In the sprint<br />

distance, athletes swim a quarter mile,<br />

bike 14 miles and run a 5K (3.1 miles).<br />

In 2013, an Olympic-distance race was<br />

added, which features a .93-mile swim, a<br />

24.8-mile bike ride and a 10K (6.2-mile)<br />

run. There are also shorter races for kids<br />

on the day before the adult race.<br />

Bicycling is also a popular local sport,<br />

with our hundreds of miles of rural<br />

better. Satisfaction with your new hearing instruments is our<br />

top priority. We will guide you through the important steps to<br />

Choosing a hearing professional is one of the most important<br />

decisions a hearing impaired person can make. Since a<br />

hearing aid cannot be prescribed like eye glasses, proper<br />

hearing aid recommendation and fitting is highly dependent<br />

on the judgment and skill of the professional selecting the<br />

instrument. We test your hearing, and select and dispense<br />

the hearing instrument best to meet your needs, in addition<br />

to providing support counseling and service of the hearing<br />

system. We are concerned about you and we want to make<br />

hearing solution recommendations to fit your lifestyle and<br />

personal needs.<br />
