What is a sesquicentennial anyway? On Saturday, July 5, the Village of Whitehouse will celebrate its 150th anniversary with a day-long bash. The day starts with a kick-off parade at 10am followed by the Whitehouse Fire Company’s famous barbeque, live music, a pie baking contest, an antique car and tractor show, 1864 re-enactments, horse-drawn carriage rides, kids games, a beard-growing contest, square dancing, and fireworks. Participants are encouraged to sign up to participate in the many contests—visit whitehouseoh.gov for more information. This family-friendly event is free, so bring the kids and enjoy the fun.
10am. Village Park, 6751 Providence St., Whitehouse. 419-877-5383.
