Planning underway
for Hay Days `96
HAY TOWNSHIP - "Preserved
for Posterity." That is what the
"Hay Days '96" Steering Commit-
tee would like to see for the events
planned to celebrate the year. This
committee has been meeting over
the past two years to plan a year
long 150th birthday party for Hay
Township. As has become the cus-
tom in many families these days, it
would be terrific to capture the
year as it unfolds on video tape.
The celebration will actually be-
gin is July 12 with a bar-b-que,
auction, and cash draw. (Be sure to
get your draw ticket now as the
early bird is in May!) Then, start-
ing on January 7, 1996 with the

happening roughly once per
month. Ideally, a committee con-
sisting of three or four people with
video cameras taking turns cover-
ing events, could put together a
wonderful video to be enjoyed for
