DETAILING THE CELBRATION … Denver Henderson (left), chairman of the committee planning the 200th Anniversary Celebration of Williams County spoke to the Bryan Rotary Club. The original celebration to commemorate the count’s formation in 1820 was scheduled four years ago but due to the pandemic, it was cancelled. This year’s milestone recognized the formal organization of the county government in 1824. Opening ceremonies and activities took place last spring, April 19-21. Another ceremony occurred on June 7 to commemorate the first county commissioner meeting of 1824. All current and former commissioners were invited to participate. In September, Governor DeWine and other state and federal officials came to the Williams County Fair to honor the 200th Anniversary of the Williams County government.
