After a couple of public meetings on how Atlantic should celebrate its 150^th Anniversary as a City in 2018, a committee has decided on a plan. City Clerk Barb Barrick says they decided on a theme for each month, beginning this December (2017), with a Mayoral Proclamation during the Christmas Parade. A different, suggested theme for groups and organizations to build around each month, begins January, 2018.)

City Hall will be the point of contact for getting events on the calendar. There’s also a Facebook page that debuted on Wednesday. It’s called “Atlantic Sesquicentennial.” If you have problems spelling out the entire word Sesquicentennial, just type in “Atlantic Ses” in the Facebook search bar to locate and “Like” their page.
