Mitchell's Sesquicentennial Celebrating 150 Years is fast approaching in 2024. Join us in celebrating this milestone with a week of fun community events, pay homage to the rich history of this town, and make new memories!
Chair Doug Feltz and co-chair Phillip O’Donnell, plan to introduce the steering committee and will be hosting an information session with an opportunity to sign up and participate as a committee member or volunteer for various roles or events.
“We have a huge range of events in mind but it takes people to run them,” he said. “We’re trying to do something for everybody, the kids, the teens …. very much like ’99 was. We’re in the process of organizing and fine-tuning it.”
Partnerships with service groups has already been established, and organizers are always looking for more.
Volunteers also need to be registered with the municipality for insurance purposes.
Feltz said paraphernalia from previous Mitchell anniversary events will be on display as inspiration for the 150th celebration, something to get people fired up and excited about what’s to come. “The key is fun … we just want to have a great week and have people come home and visit. There’s going to be lots of opportunity for socializing during the event,” he said.
All are welcome to the open house, as the building is fully accessible.
A number of events will be taking place, leading up to the official celebration, including:
(December 30, 2023) New Years Eve Dance
The Mitchell 150 Committee is still accepting members, and volunteers are wanted for many aspects of this event.
