Hendricks County Bicentennial Committee Endorses 3 New Projects, Events

DANVILLE, IN (February 13, 2023) – The community continues to submit ideas for projects and events with a Bicentennial theme in honor of the county’s 200^th birthday.

The Bicentennial Committee hopes civic groups, municipalities, businesses and all members of the community will be inspired to create Bicentennial projects that leave a legacy for future generations as well as events both current and new that include some kind of Bicentennial or history element.

Submit your idea to the Bicentennial Committee for official endorsement and upon approval, applicants will have the use of all Bicentennial logos, a listing on the Bicentennial website and additional support by reaching the community through a press release sent to local media.

Three new endorsements join an additional six county-wide events officially approved by the committee, with hopefully, many more to come.

• Woodcarving Project. Karl Nantz of Brownsburg plans to create a wood carving featuring the bicentennial logo on oak board.
