With a full-schedule of events planned for Saturday's 100th anniversary, the Joaquin Centennial Celebration committee is staging a $500 treasure hunt, sure to put some more excitement into an already festive occasion. Committee member Taylor Wilkerson says the first clue will be posted at Friday night's gospel concert at the Joaquin High School Gym. Then hourly clues will be posted at the red building in downtown Joaquin beginning at 8 a.m.

A reminder, the treasure certificate is not buried, nor is it located on private property!

Centennial events get started at 6 Friday night with a free gospel singing featuring Trey Wilson, The Stanleys and Sherry Lee at the Joaquin High School Gym.

Saturday's schedule will include vendor booths, a parade at 10 a.m., Jaws of Life Demonstration and BBQ brisket plate sale by the Joaquin Fire Dept. at 11, in addition to games for the kids, local singers performing, as well as recognitions and awards at 1 p.m. A cake walk at 3 p.m., and the celebration will move to the Logansport Riverfront at 8 p.m. for a free concert from the group Windstorm, and a Centennial fireworks show at 9 p.m. For more information on the City of Joaquin's 100th anniversary, contact city office at 936-269-3021.

By the way, centennial T-shirts are $12 each, the caps are $10 and Centennial cookbooks are also $10, and they're available now at City Hall and will be available for purchase at the celebration.
