It contains:

– The full schedule of events for the entire week
– Our generous sponsors and donors on the back page
With over 20 ticketed events happening during our official Bicentennial Commemoration Week, we understand that some of you may be feeling overwhelmed with all the choices in front of you. If that’s the case for you, don’t forget that we’re here to help! If you have any questions about any of the events on our schedule or are having trouble registering for/purchasing tickets to these events on Eventbrite, please send us an email to and we will get back to you right away with an answer.
“The program is being widely distributed to organizations and businesses throughout our community and at the Bicentennial events happening in July in Douro, Ennismore and Downeyville.” states Chair Brendan Moher.
