The Nation’s 250th anniversary is July 4, 2026.  It is being marked with a year-long celebration.

“As we mark this significant milestone in our nation’s history, it is fitting that we not only reflect on our achievements but also take tangible steps towards a greener future,” said Mayor Dan Henkel.

“The tree planting symbolizes growth, resilience, and our commitment to preserving our heritage for future generations.”

Community members are invited to attend, take part in the dedication, and enjoy light refreshments during the ceremony.
