The mass was held in a Methodist Church that the Mexican American fern farmer used for Catholic services. For a recording of the service, see S 1714, box 4, tapes 68-69. 1742-1743: The Methodist Church exterior; 1444-1748: Chuck Bard and Francisco Espino playing music; 1749-1751: Bard leading singing; 1752-1753: Blessing child; 1754, 1756: Narvaez giving communion; 1755: baptising child; 1756-1757: Mother and child; 1806-1813: church parishioners; 1814-1815: Father Narvaez. In winter 1985, the Bureau contracted with two folklorists to conduct a folk arts survey of the St. Johns River basin in northeastern Florida. The St. Johns River is the largest and most used river in Florida, supporting much river commerce as well as a modest amount of commercial fishing. Folklorists Mary Anne McDonald and Kathleen Figgen conducted the survey from January through March 1985 under the direction of Folklife Coordinator Blanton Owen and Bureau Chief Ormond Loomis. Documentation compiled in the survey was used to prepare and present the "St. Johns River Basin Folklife Area" at the 1985 Florida Folk Festival.

Mexican pinatas made by Victoria Grimm and her apprentices
- Date
- 1986-05-02
- Description
- Seven color slides. Grimm's apprentices were Maria Garza and Raquel Herrera. Grimm, born in Mexico City, learned to make pinatas from her family. She made two types: ones made completely of papier-mache, and ones with clay pots covered in papier-mache. Pinatas were used during posada celebrations, Mexican Christmas traditions that was observed the nine days before the holiday to represent Mary and Joseph's trek to Bethlehem. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.
