The event will be held Saturday, August 29 at the City's Municipal Complex located at 4099 Orange Beach Boulevard (Hwy. 161). From 11:00 am - 4:00 pm the parks behind City Hall will overflow with many interesting things to see and do. Music by Dave McCormick & John Brust will kick off the mornings activities with Brent Burns rounding out the afternoon time slot. A Recognition Ceremony at 1:00pm will honor past Councils & Mayors, as well as long standing businesses in the community.
In Council Chambers, long time citizens will talk about early times in Orange Beach and reminisce about by-gone days. The museum will be open for visitors and the park adjacent to it will overflow with exhibits from Baldwin County's history. Surrounding communities will also be setting up displays showing where they've come from. Lots of interesting history to commemorate Baldwin County's 200th.
