(Marne) The theme for the Marne Sesquicentennial celebration on Saturday, June 21, is honoring the past and embracing the future. Marne Community Club President Tonia Larsen looks forward to an event that will unite the entire community.
The Food Trucks will roll in and serve from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. She says the Heritage Museum opens at 9:00 a.m. at the community center, the parade line-up starts at 10:00 a.m., and the parade starts at 11:00 a.m. Larsen is looking for a good turnout for the parade.
The parade is followed by a flag ceremony at the city park with cake. The afternoon activities include the mini-bike races from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is a pull-start mini-bike race, and all ages are invited to participate on the track at the softball field.
The day wraps up with the Marne Fire and Rescue Annual Hog Roast at 5:00 p.m., featuring a Street Dance and Beer Garden. For more information, follow the Marne Community Club Facebook Page or MarneIowa.com. Donations are accepted to help offset the costs of the day’s activities.
