Local tourism officials, history buffs and other community leaders continue to plan a yearlong celebration around the Logan County Bicentennial.
While Logan County was officially separated from the much larger Champaign County on March 1, 1818, event organizers hope to celebrate the county’s 200th birthday with numerous events over the course of the year.
The kickoff will include a night of music and art presented by local school districts at the Holland Theatre on March 17.
