th Lexington 300 Anniversary Celebration Committee Incorporation Weekend – Saturday and Sunday – discussion on how to schedule events – assigned slots or times randomly scheduled throughout the days. It was the sense from discussion that a combination of both set times - 9 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. core event slots with other events dispersed throughout the days. Motion to approve minutes of July 13, 2011 was made and adopted unanimously. TH 3.T300AY HEMES FOR THE NNIVERSARY EAR Discussion on the theme ensued. A generally supported theme of th ‘Lexington’s 300 – We are Lexington’ was presented. This theme allows for the many faces, facets, and events of Lexington’s 300 years to be featured. Jim Hollister, National Park Service, in questioning what we wish to celebrate, offered possibilities such as: Antique auto community Hats competition Review of 1813, 1913 celebrations War of 1813 and Lexington Other possibilities include – segmenting timeline, Worthen Collection, other group/individual collections & holdings, historical review of newspaper advertisements – costs, products, companies, etc. Jim Hollister identified development of the Whittemore house within the National Park Service, its Lexington location, and possible highlighting along with other Lexington sites such as Parker’s Revenge, the Bluffs, Fiske Hiss, etc. Jessie questioned interest in the NPS Junior Park Ranger program, to which Jim indicated that program is mostly of interest to visitors. Jim is also active in the colonial dancing community. Opportunity to connect the Liberty Ride or other such programs to the Whittemore House events, possible Liberty Ride tour for the afternoon, special route? 4.
