Throughout 2010, bicentennial events will ensure that New Carlisle's 200th birthday celebration is truly one for the ages! 

Planned events include:  vintage baseball game and ice cream social, Air Force Band of Flight concert, living history encampment, Bicentennial Musical celebrating New Carlisle, painting of murals on downtown buildings, heritage church services, and the year long celebation culminates with the annual Heritage of Flight festival during the first weekend in October.  During the festival weekend, the bicentennial committee will dedicate a monument, with a time capsule commemorating our 200 years as a town.

The fun will begin with a downtown New Year's Eve Party, this coming Dec. 31, 2009, designed to ring in our bicentennial year!  The celebration will include a ball drop at midnight, music, food, and surprises.  Mark your calendars now and plan to attend the celebration. 

New Carlisle residents will have the opportunity to show their bicentennial spirit by purchasing banners which will be displayed on the street lamp posts throughout downtown or hung outside their homes.  Seven different banners have been designed and orders will be taken starting around the first of June.  In addition to the banners, the committee has designed lapel pins which are now available for purchase. 

Our next committee meeting will be held at the Masonic Lodge, located on Main Street in New Carlisle,  on June 8, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.  Please join us!
