Tonight I went
down to Connersville’s Bicentennial Headquarters and picked up our pictures
taken with Santa at Knecht's Interiors during the Winterfest celebration November 17th.
While I was there I got the chance to
snap a few pics of the main entrance and some of the volunteers working this
evening. Bicentennial Books can be purchased at the Headquarters ( 416 N Central Ave Connersville IN 47331 ) 11a.m.-1p.m.
and 4-7p.m. on Friday, 4-7p.m. Saturday, and 12-4p.m. Sunday this weekend (Dec
1-3) and next weekend (Dec 8-10). Also, I was told the coverlets and ornaments
commemorating the bicentennial year will be coming in this week and will be
available Dec 8 -10 and any other days the HQ will be open. Books, coverlets, and ornaments....OH MY! What a great set to present your loved ones with for Christmas.
Be sure to at least stop by and give your moral support to the volunteers that give their time to all of us in this endeavor.
If you or anyone you know would like to volunteer, or would like to attend planning meetings, please visit the link above and the Bicentennial website will point you to the right contacts for any of your questions. This really is a great time for individuals or organizations to get in on the act of making our area a bit more noticeable to outsiders - and to ourselves! The entire Whitewater Valley Canal area has a shared history in which individual stops on the way cannot be extracted from the whole. Just because you may not be from the Connersville area do not think that your community was not important to the development here. It is funny how history connects us in the present day.
