Someone
finally mentioned a centennial committee
in the board room at the Wake Forest
Town Hall.
The town will have its 100th
birthday in 2009 some time before March
1 when the new town board was sworn in
back in 1909. It was the same cast of
characters that had been meeting as the
town board for the Town of Wake Forest
College chartered in 1880.
The century mark is usually
a significant event for people and
towns, and most towns around here spend
four or five years planning a
celebration. Not Wake Forest. The only
hint of it has been a Centennial Park
planned with the new town hall.
It was Vicki Grant, the
architect with Little Diversified, who
mentioned a centennial committee, saying
Tuesday night she hoped there would be a
centennial committee to help plan
Centennial Park.
If not, I think I’ll plan to
bake a cake, carry it to town hall and
ask passers-by to take a piece and toast
the town with some Kool-Aid. |
