🐣🌷 Egg Hunt + Bonus Stop! 🌷🐣

While you’re out enjoying the Egg Hunt in Centennial Park tomorrow, be sure to hop on over and say hi to the Sesquicentennial Committee! 🎉

We’ll be there with some fun merch available and ready to chat—whether you’ve got questions, ideas, or just want to see what’s coming up for the big 150th celebration. 👀✨

Come for the eggs… stay for the sneak peeks. 🐰🎈

🚨Official Sesquicentennial Update (Sort Of)🚨

After a full internal investigation, we’ve discovered why social media has been a little… quiet lately:

🍁 The Sesquicentennial Coordinator and Secretary have fled to the East Coast.

Not the beach.
No sunscreen.
Just…
🚗 scenic drives
☕ suspicious amounts of coffee
🍂 and aggressively charming towns that make you question your entire life plan

As a result, the social media ball has been:
🎯 identified
🤏 acknowledged
…and then politely ignored while we admire historic buildings and say things like,
“Wow… look at that house.”

We’ll be back eventually 😉
•The Village is still turning 150 🎉
• Plans are still happening (somewhere… probably in a group chat)
• And we promise to resume regularly scheduled posting once we remember what day it is

Until then:
🌊Here’s a picture of the Atlantic Ocean for ya
📸 Share your favorite Mazon memories
💬 Tag us in anything we’re missing
🕵️‍♂️ Or just pretend this silence is “building suspense”

Stay tuned… eventually 😎

The grills were hot, the pork chops were sizzling, and this community showed up BIG. 🔥🐖

THANK YOU to everyone who came out, ate well, laughed loud, and made our Porkchop Dinner such a huge success! From the volunteers behind the scenes to everyone who bought tickets, grabbed raffle entries, and supported the event—you showed that you are just as excited as we are!

We’re beyond grateful for a community that knows how to show up and show out (and clearly has great taste in pork chops 😄).

A special thanks to the Mazon American Legion Post 352 for allowing us use of your space. Thanks for Benson Insurance for sponsoring the event. And thank you to Finders Flea for your sponsorship and for manning the grill!
