Fourth of July Celebration and The 175th Celebration of Peru

So far I have heard very little planning of events for the Celebration of 175 years since the founding of Peru. We have been told that the CSO is in charge. Does anyone know that might mean? It seems too me that this should be a community event in which ALL citizens who wish to be involved with the Celebration can assist with events and planning. There were comments made on an earlier posting by residents concerning the use of the city parks, and someone said that they would like to see more Community involvement. Sounds like a perfect opportunity. For sure there will be a ceremony at Veterans Park on July 3 and a Parade to Centennial Park for events and an all day picnic and the Fireworks on the riverfront as usual. More information to follow. Also verified that On June 27 there will be a History Day at Washington School inside and outside (weather permitting) with displays pertaining to the history of Peru.
