Golden Valley's 125th Anniversary
Golden Valley will be 125 years old in 2011, and the community is planning a series of events during the year to commemorate the anniversary, which stems from the City’s incorporation as village Dec 16, 1886.
Planning got underway in September 2010 with a Bridge Builder’s group that met to discuss possibilities, including a logo contest to brand this commemorative event, a Golden Valley volunteer day to promote various volunteer opportunities around the City, and historical displays. Many existing community activities will be embellished to include an anniversary component throughout 2011.
The hope is that Golden Valley’s 125th birthday events will promote the well-being of the community while celebrating its history in memorable ways.
