Celebrate America’s Birthday & Make History in Willowick! In honor of America’s 200th Anniversary, Willowick residents buried a time capsule to be opened on our nation’s 250th!  Join us on Saturday, July 4th, from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Dudley Park for a day of fun activities and family-friendly celebrations. Be there to witness the opening of Willowick’s historic time capsule and participate in filling the next capsule—a treasure to be opened 50 years from now!  Don’t miss this chance to be part of Willowick history!

 

In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, residents are invited to fill out a letter to the future to be buried in the time capsule to be opened in 2076! Letter templates are available at Willowick City Hall, Willowick Senior Center, & the Activities Center at Manry Park and must be returned at the time capsule opening event on Saturday, July 4 at Dudley Park during the event. We look forward to having everyone at this historic event!
