New Berlin readies for bicentennial celebration
NEW BERLIN – Plans are underway for a village-wide celebration as event organizers put the final touches on New Berlin’s bicentennial festivities.
This year marks the milestone 200th anniversary of the Village of New Berlin – and while some things have certainly changed since the village was incorporated, the sense of community is one thing that’s stayed the same.
Activities will be held throughout the village starting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, but a kick-off block party is scheduled for 3-7 p.m. Friday in the Chase Nursing Home parking lot. The party will include a live band, door prizes, and hamburgers and hot dogs for sale.
Several events will be held in the village Saturday, including a community picnic at Elm Street and Hyde Park at noon (all are encouraged to bring a dish to pass), musical and dance performances on the Preferred Mutual downtown stage, baseball games at Chobani Fields, quilt shows at the Masonic Temple, an ice cream social (sponsored by Stewarts) from 2-4 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, and a walking tour of the historical village from 1-4 p.m. Touring maps will be handed out at the picnic, NBT Bank, village offices, and the library.
Celebrations will be capped off by a parade marching down Main Street starting at 6 p.m., followed by a fireworks display at Chobani Fields at dusk.
“In preparation for the bicentennial, it deepens my appreciation for the history of the village and the people who have worked tirelessly through the years to make the community what it is today,” said Village Mayor Terry Potter.
Growing up in New Berlin, Potter said the village was always a place where all walks of the community came together for social events. Now approaching his sixth year as mayor, he said that sentiment is truer than ever.
“It’s a big commitment to put all this together,” said Potter. “A lot of work has gone in to preparing for this celebration, and we appreciate what everyone has done.”
Several sponsors have chipped in for the bicentennial celebration. They include: the Beatty Foundation; Chobani; Curtis Lumber Co.; Gates Cole Insurance Co.; Golden Artist Colors; NBT Bank; New Berlin Library; NY Central Mutual Insurance Co.; New York Pizzeria; The Evening Sun; Preferred Mutual Insurance Co.; Stewarts Shops; and the Village of New Berlin.
