[September 20, 2026] Success. One-time, special events are always difficult to pull off. No one knows what to expect; they may not have heard about it. Because they’re unique, they have no experience to rely on. Fortunately, our Spirit of 1776 Commemoration celebrating America’s 250th Birthday was a success. Success is often measured in total attendance and positive… Read More »
