2025 年漢考克縣為期一年的 200 歲生日慶祝活動即將舉行

紀念幣和裝飾品現已推出，活動日程已排滿，並且正在努力讓縣學校和社區參與慶祝活動。

Hancock County’s bicentennial is coming together with commemorative items, a full schedule of events and efforts to keep county schools and communities involved in the year-long celebration.

漢考克縣二百週年紀念活動將伴隨著紀念物品、完整的活動時間表以及讓縣學校和社區參與為期一年的慶祝活動的努力。

The Hancock County Historical Society (HCHS) is spearheading the planning and its Bicentennial Committee met Wednesday, Sept. 11, in the HCHS offices located in the Kibbe Museum in Carthage.

漢考克縣歷史學會 (HCHS) 正在領導制定這項計劃，其二百週年紀念委員會於 9 月 11 日星期三在位於迦太基基貝博物館的 HCHS 辦公室舉行了會議。

Samples of the brass coin and ornament received enthusiastic reviews from committee members.

黃銅硬幣和裝飾品的樣品受到了委員會成員的熱烈好評。

“I hope the rest of the committee is as happy with them as I am,” noted HCHS board President Keith Bruns.

「我希望委員會的其他成員和我一樣對他們感到滿意，」HCHS 董事會主席基思·布倫斯 (Keith Bruns) 指出。

The coin and ornament will be available for a suggested donation of $10 each.

建議捐贈 10 美元即可獲得硬幣和裝飾品。

Committee members discussed possible opportunities to distribute the fundraising items, including mail order and at area businesses.

委員會成員討論了分發籌款物品的可能機會，包括郵購和在地區企業中分發。

But because the HCHS is a small group of volunteers, the group settled on offering the coin and ornament at the HCHS offices, which are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cash and checks accepted.

但由於 HCHS 是一小群志願者，該團體決定在 HCHS 辦公室提供硬幣和裝飾品，辦公室週一至週五上午 9 點至下午 3 點開放，接受現金和支票。

The group also reviewed the county’s bicentennial logo, created at discounted rates by John McCarty of Nauvoo, which will be used in conjunction with marketing for the events.

該小組還審查了該縣的二百週年標誌，該標誌由 Nauvoo 的約翰·麥卡蒂 (John McCarty) 以折扣價創建，該標誌將與活動行銷結合使用。

The committee is hoping to create banners, posters and flags to promote in advance of bicentennial events, which begin in January of 2025, as well as to decorate the county with reminders of the anniversary. Members have considered banners and brackets to potentially mount on streetlight posts, but vendors haven’t been obtained and it isn’t clear whether any of the county’s communities would be interested.

該委員會希望製作橫幅、海報和旗幟，以便在 2025 年 1 月開始的二百週年紀念活動之前進行宣傳，並用周年紀念來裝飾該縣。成員們已經考慮在路燈柱上安裝橫幅和支架，但尚未找到供應商，也不清楚該縣的任何社區是否有興趣。

Sam Harnack, executive director of Hancock County Economic Development, reported she has introduced the topic through her role as a liaison, but has not received much feedback.

漢考克縣經濟發展執行董事薩姆·哈納克表示，她已經透過聯絡人的身分介紹了這個主題，但沒有收到太多回饋。

“I’m still working on that,” Harnack said, suggesting many towns and villages are busy with day-to-day operations and the bicentennial is not at the top of their minds.

哈納克說：「我仍在努力解決這個問題。」他表示，許多城鎮和村莊正忙於日常運營，二百週年紀念並不是他們最關心的事情。

The Hancock County Bicentennial Celebration will kick off in January 2025, with a showcase at The Legacy Theater in Carthage. On Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, the official bicentennial will be marked with a ceremony at the Hancock County Courthouse featuring a proclamation by the Hancock County Board, a brief history of the establishment of Hancock County, comments by elected officials, and tours of the courthouse.
