The public is invited to Hendricks Live! in Plainfield on Friday, Jan. 24 for a party celebrating everything we accomplished during our Bicentennial year. The free event will include a performance from Hendricks County’s own county music recording artist Levi Riggs, a special announcement of a Bicentennial Legacy Project and other entertainment and surprises.

The Hendricks County Bicentennial Tree Trail will take over 8+ acres of land at W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park in Avon, Indiana and include a 200-shaped crushed gravel path that will meander through trees native to Indiana.

Three Hendricks County projects and events received official Bicentennial endorsement in February

Five Hendricks County events were the first events or projects endorsed by the Bicentennial Steering Committee for the year.

Annual community event planners, a volunteer steering committee and many others have already begun planning for the Bicentennial but they need the community’s help to make the celebration truly special.

They are asking all businesses, civic groups, families and individuals to consider creating an event or legacy project in celebration of the Bicentennial and will offer free Bicentennial yard signs for anyone who wants to display them and official endorsements for events and projects that qualify.
