2014 ACHIEVEMENTS <br />In 2014, the Landmarks Commission forged a partnership with the City's Arts Commission for <br />the purpose of planning North Olmsted's 2015 bicentennial celebration. The Arts Commission <br />was formed in 2013 to develop and encourage all forms and areas of the arts within the City for <br />the benefit of its residents, including the fine arts, performing arts, and cultural arts, as well as <br />supporting and conducting events which celebrate the spirit, character, and history of the City. <br />Together, the two commissions created a Bicentennial Committee which met through the year <br />to organize events, rally support and promote the bicentennial within the community. <br />To improve community outreach, a Celebrate North Olmsted bicentennial website was created <br />and a Celebrate North Olmsted Facebook page was launched. Both media contained <br />information about the city, the bicentennial and upcoming events. Landmarks Commission <br />members provided some content for both websites. <br />On October 23, 2014 the <br />Bicentennial Committee hosted <br />the Bicentennial Brew Launch at <br />Fat Head's Brewery. The goal of <br />the event was to increase <br />excitement and awareness about <br />the bicentennial. Over 150 people <br />attended the kickoff event, which <br />featured North Olmsted's very <br />own special bicentennial brew. <br />Attendees enjoyed great food, fun <br />basket raffles and took home <br />commemorative bicentennial pint <br />glasses.
