The Henry County Bicentennial Steering Committee met recently to discuss ways to get more community involvement to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Henry County, along with proposing ideas for future events to be planned throughout the year.

A tentative event schedule was made for the rest of the year with potential projects including “Flat Pat”- a colorable caricature of a young Patrick Henry that parents can print out for their children to take pictures with, a picnic in the park event, a second day of service event, a 5k race and BBQ cookoff, a time capsule reveal on the McDonough Square, a wind down Wednesday event and more.

Residents are encouraged to use the hashtag #henrycounty 200 when sharing photos from Bicentennial events on social media to showcase efforts in celebrating Henry County.
