Free 150th Anniversary Magnets And All The Other Ways To Celebrate

>

Special commemorative magnets displaying the Sequessentenial logo are now available for free in Rockville City Hall. At last Monday’s Mayor and Council meeting, staff said they would work on a plan to distribute them from community recreation centers, but right now the only place to grab one is the reception counter on the main floor.

Looking ahead, here’s the current Schedule of Events to celebrate Rockville’s incorporation as a City on March 10, 1860:

January 10 – February 2, 2010
150th Photography Exhibit Glenview Mansion Business Hours

Other Ways You Can Get Involved for our 150th:

• Plan your own commemorative event.
• Visit a restaurant for a specially-designated meal or drink.
• Plan official 150th anniversary flowers in your garden.
• Design and paint a fire hydrant in Town Center.
• Register for the Memorial Day Parade.
• Attend an event like the photo opening!

As you might have noticed, I’m looking forward to all the special ways we can do something a little different to have a good time and celebrate. The flowers picked by the 150th Task Force are our City’s colors of red and blue and it will be fun to see where they sprout up. I’m sure the restaurants will have very creative Rockville drinks and meals. Who doesn’t want to paint a fire hydrant?
