All of the First Fridays in 2016 mark a different time period for Indiana’s yearlong bicentennial celebration, and the April event covers the time period from 1850 to 1900s.
First Friday is 5 to 9 p.m.
The Circuit from Clunette Methodist Church will take center stage from 6 to 9 p.m.
New Life Christian Church will have a “wishing wall.” People will be able to write down their prayers, requests or needs for the big wall. For more personal prayer requests, there will be a drop box, according to First Friday coordinator Paula Bowman.
A local Boy Scout troop will have its gyroscope back for participants to ride for a small fee. It is a fundraiser for the troop. Bowman also said several different churches will have fundraisers Friday for mission trips and other needs.
Food vendors will be on site, while other groups will provide some kids activities.
“There will be something for everyone,” Bowman said.
For anyone who didn’t get their Polish T-shirt last month, Bowman said a large selection will be available. The shirts include the Polish Princess and the “Made in America in KC with some Polish Parts” variety.
The Indiana Bicentennial Torch lights are still available for $500 for any town, business or individual to purchase, and information on those will be at Friday’s event.
“I would love to see more around the county,” Bowman said. “We’re still looking for help and sponsorship for the bicentennial celebration.”
The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay will be a 3,200-mile journey with nearly 2,000 torchbearers from Indiana’s 92 counties participating, starting in Corydon Sept. 9 and ending in Indianapolis Oct. 15.
The torch will be in Kosciusko County Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A celebration is scheduled in Central Park, Warsaw, during the relay and another one in Syracuse as the torch moves on to Noble County.
Accompanying the torch will be a high-tech mobile experience – an interactive museum that highlights important milestones during Indiana’s first 200 years and looks ahead to what’s in the state’s future.
