Aiken’s quartoseptcentennial celebration to last all of 2010
The City of Aiken is gearing up for its 175th anniversary.
City officials held the first planning session at the Municipal Building Thursday to begin preparing for the year-long celebration that will kick off the first of next year.
The City of Aiken was established on Dec. 19, 1835. The last anniversary celebration was in 1985, when the City recognized its 150th anniversary. However, then the festivities only lasted 12 days, and many Aiken residents missed out on some of the events, said Mayor Fred Cavanaugh.
“This time we decided to extend it over the whole year so everyone can participate,” he said.
