Now that we’ve had a few days to catch our breath and recover, we want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who made the 250th Celebration Through The Centuries event such an unforgettable success!
We were absolutely blown away by the incredible community turnout. Seeing families enjoy the sack races, pony rides, petting zoo, pie eating and baking contests, storefront and coloring contests, kayak parade, dunk tank, bounce house, face painting, live music, food trucks, and more made every ounce of effort worth it.
Special Gratitude to Our Top Sponsors:
An event of this scale simply wouldn't have been possible without the standout generosity of our top sponsors, whose contributions directly funded our spectacular fireworks display:
* Presenting Sponsors: Advantage Federal Credit Union & Earthtech Developers
* Major Sponsor: Northside Service Center
Their support served as the true cornerstone of this milestone celebration! We also want to extend our appreciation to all of our additional sponsors.
Honoring a Local Legend:
We were deeply honored to present John D. Hickey with a Proclamation from the village, town, county, and state. Special thanks to Jackie Smith, Assemblyman Steven Hawley, Senator Ortt’s office representative, former Congressman, Joseph Robach for their assistance in making that well-deserved recognition happen!
Finally, to our incredible staff, board members, and volunteers—you are the backbone of this event. Hearing all the positive comments, calls, and messages thanking us for creating such a fun, family-focused celebration means the world to us.
We are so grateful to serve such an amazing community!
