Issue Focus: Community Celebrations

A Year of Celebration - Deerfield pride shines through with a 12-month celebration of its 225th anniversary

The Deerfield Township Committee went all-out in 2023 for our 225th anniversary: 23 events, 12 months, 6 full-time employees with a minimal budget, all in the name of #Deerfieldpride.

There was no real plan, just optimism that creativity and community support would bring us to the finish line. And it did.

Our 2023 lineup was ambitious. It included: Pick Me Up Bouquets for those who needed a little extra support. A “What I Love About Deerfield Township Poster Contest” that inspired over 100 posters sharing visions of what kids love about their hometown. To continue reading, please visit page 6.
