The Sprout Fund is going to hand out money to people and groups with good ideas for the city's 250th anniversary. Anything from parades to books, from the sound of it. If you think you have a good idea, check out the article for details.

I think this is a really nice project. It allows people and groups to get involved who might not be able to otherwise. And it encourages a wide variety of celebrations for this event.

Do you know anything about the city's celebration plans? Has anything been announced yet, or is everything still in the planning stages?

I haven't heard anything.
