The City Council created a subcommittee to explore options to enhance the July 4th Jubilee celebration. The goal was to celebrate both the 50th Jubilee and the 250th anniversary of America. The subcommittee proposed adding a special one-night concert on July 3 featuring Josh Abbott Band. The subcommittee also proposed adding additional patriotic street banners around the city, commemorative t-shirt sales, a historic plane flyover, a pie-eating contest, pie-baking contest, dunk tank, an expanded fireworks finale, and a shuttle bus route for off-site parking. This presentation will review all of this information.
