Mount Carmel Mayor Joe Judge says early plans are underway for a major community celebration as part of America’s 250th anniversary.
Speaking at Monday afternoon’s City Council meeting, Judge said a planning group met last week with strong participation from several local organizations.
The mayor says the group is working toward a week-long celebration centered around the Fourth of July.
Judge says the idea is to host a full seven days of events to mark the America 250 milestone, with organizers already sharing a number of ideas.
A second planning meeting is scheduled for April 15th, and more details are expected to be announced soon.
Judge says the goal is to bring the community together for a memorable celebration next summer.
