The Wilson County Sesquicentennial Year will be launched with a “Faith of Our Fathers” event on Sunday, Jan. 3, in the new Floresville High School cafeteria in Floresville, from 2:30-4:30 p.m.
A proclamation will be read, designating 2010 as the Wilson County Sesquicentennial Year, marking 150 years since the county’s founding. Several members of the Sesquicentennial Committee and Wilson County Historical Society will attend in period attire.
This will be the first of the county’s sesquicentennial celebrations. Many events are planned through the coming year, including Wilson County’s Official Birthday Party on Feb. 13.
Sesquicentennial Committee members are LaJuana Newnam-Leus, 830-393-2166; Shirley and John Grammer, 830-947-3176; Maurine Liles, 830-393-4959; and Gene Maeckel, 830-484-2536.
The Sesquicentennial Committee is organizing celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Wilson County. Anyone interested in helping with one of the celebration committees is invited to contact one of these individuals. |
