Getting ready for America’s 250th was discussed at Monday night’s Red Bud City Council meeting.
From the cultural committee, there was a request to give the city’s newly formed America 250 planning committee some seed money.
In 2026, the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday. Red Bud, like many cities across the nation, is gearing up to commemorate this milestone. The America 250 planning committee has already met and has begun the process of planing out a series of events to celebrate. The goal is also to “reflect our community’s unique character and pride.”
The group will be meeting again on Aug. 27 at 9 a.m. at the Red Bud City Hall. If any individual, business or organization is interested in getting involved or has ideas for the celebration, they can contact City Administrative Officer Jill Landgraf.
