Mburgh Names 250th Committee to Celebrate Americas Birthday

MIDDLEBURGH - It is still two years away, Middleburgh officials are getting to celebrate the United States' 250th birthday.

The village board last week named members of the 250th committee. 

Mayor Tim Knight said the issue was first broached at the joint village-town meeting in June.

Named to the committee were: village: Mayor Knight, Trustee Sheryl Adams, and resident Matthew Lacy; town: Supervisor John Youmans, Councilwoman Sue Makely; and Town of Fulton: Councilman Richard Mix.

The committee is hoping to have one big celebration instead of smaller ones.

It was noted that Mr. Lacy's late father, former Supervisor Lee Lacy, was a member of the 200th committee.
