To commemorate Atlantic’s Sesquicentennial this year, the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce is selling t-shirts on behalf of the Sesquicentennial Committee to celebrate the milestone. Chamber Executive Director Baily Smith said “We’re happy to provide the community with something to remember the year by. Community members will be able to keep these shirts as a memento for this community accomplishment.”

T-Shirts are available at the Rock Island Depot, located at 102 Chestnut Street, for $15. Sizes range from small to 3XL, with a limited amount of each size. There are also youth sizes available for $10. All proceeds from the shirt will go towards fireworks for the 4th of July. Sesquicentennial Co-Chair Steve Livengood said “The committee felt this was a great way to visually represent the city’s 150th birthday and a way to get the community involved to help celebrate.”

The Sesquicentennial Committee, co-chaired by Steve Livengood and Barb Barrick, meets the third Tuesday of every month at 5:30 PM at City Hall for those who are interested in getting involved.
