SPEAKER SERIES Laurel's 1970 Centennial Celebration
Thursday, September 24 | 6:00 to 7:00 PM
Cost: FREE (advanced registration required)
Location: Laurel Pool Room and Zoom (hybrid event)
During this hybrid presentation, Kevin Leonard of The Laurel History Boys will present on Laurel’s 1970 Centennial Celebration. In an extraordinary display of community involvement, Laurel’s centennial celebration in 1970 spanned eight days, was managed by a Who’s Who of the Laurel business community, staged events in every corner of the city, raised tens of thousands of dollars from local businesses who lined up to sign checks and be sponsors, and, most impressively, produced a massive stage play about Laurel’s history that included a cast of almost 400 residents.
This event will be in-person at the Laurel Pool Room and also broadcast live via Zoom. A recording of this webinar will be made available to attendees after the event.
