2025 年汉考克县为期一年的 200 岁生日庆祝活动即将举行

纪念币和装饰品现已推出，活动日程已排满，并且正在努力让县学校和社区参与庆祝活动。

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.

汉考克县二百周年纪念活动将伴随着纪念物品、完整的活动时间表以及让县学校和社区参与为期一年的庆祝活动的努力。

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.

汉考克县历史学会 (HCHS) 正在牵头制定这项计划，其二百周年纪念委员会于 9 月 11 日星期三在位于迦太基基贝博物馆的 HCHS 办公室举行了会议。

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

黄铜硬币和装饰品的样品受到了委员会成员的热烈好评。

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

“我希望委员会的其他成员和我一样对他们感到满意，”HCHS 董事会主席基思·布伦斯 (Keith Bruns) 指出。

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

建议捐赠 10 美元即可获得硬币和装饰品。

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

委员会成员讨论了分发筹款物品的可能机会，包括邮购和在地区企业中分发。

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.

但由于 HCHS 是一小群志愿者，该团体决定在 HCHS 办公室提供硬币和装饰品，办公室周一至周五上午 9 点至下午 3 点开放，接受现金和支票。

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.

该小组还审查了该县的二百周年标志，该标志由 Nauvoo 的约翰·麦卡蒂 (John McCarty) 以折扣价创建，该标志将与活动营销结合使用。

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.

该委员会希望制作横幅、海报和旗帜，以便在 2025 年 1 月开始的二百周年纪念活动之前进行宣传，并用周年纪念来装饰该县。成员们已经考虑在路灯柱上安装横幅和支架，但尚未找到供应商，也不清楚该县的任何社区是否有兴趣。

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.

汉考克县经济发展执行董事萨姆·哈纳克表示，她已经通过联络人的身份介绍了这个话题，但没有收到太多反馈。

“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.

哈纳克说：“我仍在努力解决这个问题。”他表示，许多城镇和村庄正忙于日常运营，二百周年纪念并不是他们最关心的事情。

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.

汉考克县二百周年庆典将于 2025 年 1 月拉开帷幕，并在迦太基的遗产剧院 (The Legacy Theatre) 举行展示活动。 2025 年 1 月 13 日星期一，官方将在汉考克县法院举行纪念二百周年纪念仪式，其中包括汉考克县委员会的公告、汉考克县成立的简史、民选官员的评论以及参观法院大楼。
