I know there must be some community leaders who have ideas about the celebration, it's just impossible to find them, for the lowly citizen anyway. Perhaps they don't want to burn people out on the plans too early. Perhaps they'll wait until closer to 2016 to ask for volunteers and reveal plans. It should be a year-long celebration, so maybe they'll kick it off December 11, 2015. Geez, that sounds so far away.
WRAPPING - I think i'll write a letter to the editor to encourage someone to come forward with the plans so far. There has to be something because of Judy O'Bannon's ads from a year or more ago. As a historian, I believe this event is one of the most significant celebrations I will undertake - and that my children and students will have a part in, too. The citizens need to know about it so they can prepare and be aware of local history - be involved in their community celebrations. I'm not sure I'll actually send it---yet. But I will bounce it off family & friends to get their ideas again and still.
