Smyrna holds two bicentennial events in September
SMYRNA – Celebrating their 200th anniversary was something residents in the Town of Smyrna decided couldn’t be done in one simple event. The Bicentennial Committee has planned events for every month of the year in celebration of the town’s anniversary.
According to Bicentennial Committee member Barb Schwarting, two events have been planned for the month of September, both of which will require some public participation.
The first event will begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Smyrna Fire Department. During the chicken barbecue, the bicentennial committee will be honoring those associated with the Smyrna School. “We are looking for people who worked at the Smyrna School and contributed to the success of our school and all of the students who attended classes there,” Schwarting said. The bicentennial committee hopes students, teachers and staff members associated with the school will attend the event and bring photos, either on poster board or in an album, depicting the school when it was open.
Schwarting said she knows of one teacher who is still in the area who taught in Smyrna for most of her career. Anyone with a connection to the school who will be attending the event is asked to contact the bicentennial committee with their information.
On Sept. 27, the celebrations will continue with a quilt exhibit and apple pie competition. The quilt exhibit will begin at 10 a.m. The bicentennial committee is looking for quilts that were made by or for someone in Smyrna. Both old and new quilts will be on display in the upstairs section of the Smyrna Methodist Church. The committee is requesting participants include a three by five inch index card with the name of the quilt pattern, the name of the person who made the quilt and the name of the person it was made for, if the information is known. The cards will be sewed to the quilts. For more information contact Carolyn Raimy at 627-6206.
In conjunction with the quilt exhibit, the committee is holding an apple pie contest. Anyone wishing to participate should contact Karen Powrie at (315) 691-4909 to enter. Pies must be brought to the Smyrna Methodist Church by 8 a.m. They should be accompanied by an index card with the name and phone number of the baker and the recipe they followed. Both events are free and open to the public.
A luncheon, prepared by the Methodist Church Women will be available for a small fee, and desert will include apple pie.
