(Spencer)– This coming summer will be a busy one in Spencer. The city will be celebrating its 150th anniversary with a myriad of events. Speaking at a press conference today, Mayor Kevin Robinson said a lot people in the community have already been busy putting together plans…
”And so what I’m excited about is the energy the committee and the chamber have put forth in preparing for the 150th celebration. We have a time capsule that’s going to be opened up which I think everyone is looking forward to, as well as we get to participate in building a new time capsule. So if you have ideas and things you’d like to see in that time capsule for future generations to open.”
