Happy Birthday, Crothersville! Your big Sesquicentennial Celebration, marking your 150th Birthday, is September 11-14. Folks still talk about your 100th Birthday, the Centennial Celebration of 1958. Some parts of that event will be repeated this year, and several new things will be added. Congratulations on reaching this important milestone!
Some events will be historical, such as the re-enactments and the historical play, A Crothersville Celebration. The events will be instructive, old-timey, and fun. There will be contests of various sorts, and food, craft, and other booths. There will be a wonderful parade! There will be music! It is almost certain that everyone will find several activities that appeal to them. (See 150yearsago.org, for Sesquicentennial information.)
Hopefully, this Sesquicentennial Celebration will provide a jump-start to a bright future. The organization, CARD (Crothersville Area Revitalization and Development), will look to present and future needs once the Sesquicentennial is over. Members of CARD are excited about the opportunities for preservation, renewal, and expansion in our town. We want this to be a place where good things are happening! We don't want to focus on past problems, unless we are attempting to overcome them.

Sounds like Crothersville is gearing up for a big celebration. Are you in the historical play?
Have a good rest-of-the-weekend and a wonderful week ahead!
Love,
Susan
