MARS — At a meeting Monday night, borough council members and borough staff discussed plans for an upcoming 150th anniversary celebration for the Mars area, scheduled for 2023.
Secretary/treasurer Bonnie Forsythe said a small group of local businesses and representatives have come up with a number of ideas for potential celebrations to honor the area’s history next year.
“Some things are things that we know, (like) the Mars New Year Blast Off Dinner is going to happen, and we definitely are going to focus on green initiatives,” she said. “We know when Mars New Year is going to be. But then there’s other things, like adding some community events, like movie nights.”
