The Chamber of Commerce's Depot Sesquicentennial Welcome Center came together nicely with history displays set up by various groups and people. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the centerpiece of the Welcome Center; the Bright Lights trees. Someone please share a photo in the comments.
Thank-you to Dense Robinson, Susan Ryan, Brooke Pafford, American Legion Auxiliary, Karl & Candace Peterson, AgriVision Equipment, Vickie Christensen, Taylor County Public Health, Jenna Brown, Barb Curtis, and others who brought random treasures in.
We, also, had 2 videos running; the Centennial Parade; People on Lenox Main Street in early 1960's and a tribute to the Lenox Fire Department by Kristen Brown.
Thank-you to the volunteer hosts.

Steve John gave a wonderful Welcome and Tribute to Lenox speech, as well as, served as MC. Pastor Tim Maxa gave the blessing. Dave Baker of The 29th State (Dick Larimer's son-in-law) gave a lively presentation on Lenox's Proud Heritage. The Cattle Producers served burgers & hot dogs and the City showed The Crazies movie filmed in Lenox in 2009.

Pat Stream and Ramsey's Ace Hardware contributed to the community picnic. ISSB, Christensen Sanitation, and PTO contributed to the Movie in the Park and the City held free swimming for the kids during the movie. THANKS, ALL!

Precision, Pulley, & Idler hosted the Corn Hole Tournament Friday. The rain didn't put a damper on it as it was moved indoors at the Community Center. 29 teams competed, which is a large amount for this type of tournament. Way to go, PPI! Who were the winners?
