Sesquicentennial Celebration - 150 Years
August 6-9, 2009
Welcome
Welcome to the Vermillion Sesquicentennial web site! It
is indeed a milestone in our history to be looking forward
to celebrating 150 years of existence as a community. If
you are a current resident, former resident, future resident
or just interested in Vermillion, we solicit your input
for ways to help us properly recognize and celebrate this
occasion.
We are planning a year-long series of events throughout
2009, with the main dates of the celebration being Thursday
August 6 through Sunday August 9, 2009. Tentative information
about the activities being planned so far can be found by
clicking on the "Outline of Events" button at the right.
Please contact us if you have ideas or suggestions for
our Sesquicentennial. It will take many volunteers to make
things happen, so your willingness to assist is encouraged
as well. Please plan to visit us anytime, but for sure to
help us celebrate in 2009!
