A thank you to our community
As our Village’s 175th Anniversary Celebration comes to a close, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this milestone such a memorable success.
Thank you to the members of the 175th Anniversary Committee for the many hours of planning and dedication, to our generous sponsors whose support made so many events possible, to our local businesses, community organizations, and civic groups that participated, and to the many volunteers who gave their time and talents throughout the week. I would also like to thank our Village staff, DPW, emergency services, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to help keep the events running smoothly and safely.
Most of all, thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate. Seeing our parks, streets, and downtown filled with friends, neighbors, and visitors enjoying everything our Village has to offer was the greatest reminder of what makes Millerton such a special place. I hope this week gave all of us a chance to celebrate our rich history, make new memories, and look forward to an exciting future together.
This celebration was especially meaningful to me. Having grown up in Millerton and having the privilege of serving this community, I couldn’t help but reflect on how much our Village has changed over the years while still holding on to the small-town spirit that makes it so special. It’s also a reminder that each generation has the opportunity to leave Millerton a little better than they found it, and I look forward to seeing that tradition continue for many years to come.
Thank you again to everyone who played a part in making our 175th Anniversary a celebration to remember. Together, we’ve honored our past, celebrated our present, and look forward to a bright future for the Village we all proudly call home.
