The Sylvan Heritage Council is leading the way in Cameron County’s Sesquicentennial celebration. Banners will hang from the street lights depicting a picture and sponsorship name of people that have supported Cameron County over the past 150 years. The unveiling of the banners will kick off the 2010 celebration in March.
The cost to purchase a banner and select the picture is $185.00. The banner will become the sponsor’s property in November 2010. The Sylvan Heritage Council will have banner information at the Christmas in the Wilds event on Saturday, December 12.
Several families and organizations have selected banners. The Cameron County Historical Society has selected Victoria Claflin Woodhull. Victoria grew up in Cameron County and was the first woman to ever run for President of the United States. David Berman and Marcia Smith will honor Frank and Sylvia Berman, VFW Post 6221 will display the pictures of the four servicemen for which the post was named.
The deadline for purchasing a banner is December 31. For more information contact Linda Lundberg from the Sylvan Heritage Council.
