Winton Centennial Events

On Saturday, March 19, there will be a dedication of the monument that the "Clampers" have made for the community of Winton. Rosalie, the president of the Winton Historical Society has been working closely with the Clampers, with all the details including the wording on the monument. It is located in the park next to the Fire Station. The dedication ceremony starts at 10:30 a.m. Our Supervisor from Merced County will be one of the speakers.
The Winton Historical Society will have a small table set up somewhere (probably to one side) to sell the Winton Centennial recipe book and the Souvenir coffee mugs with a picture of the Winton Depot on it.
The recipe books are $15.00 each. The mugs, $6.00 each. Or both for $20.00.
Or 2 mugs for $10.00.
Come for the dedication and take a look at our beautiful new recipe books and the coffee mugs.

March 26, Saturday, the Frank Sparks School on Almond Avenue is having a Safety Fair and they invited us to set up a table and sell our recipe books and mugs. It will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you miss the monument dedication on the 19th, come by and see us on the 26th.

April 9th is the parade for the Winton Spring Festival. The Winton Historical Society thought about entering a float, but we have just a small group of retired ladies (occasionally a man or two will show up)so we decided that was too big a project for us. We will sponsor the Grand Marshall, which will be one or more of our 90-plus seniors. We don't plan to have a booth, but catch one of our members if you are looking for a recipe book or coffee mug.

The downtown merchants will have a Block Party on May 7th. We will have a table set up to sell the recipe books and coffee mugs.

The Church of God in Christ Mennonite will have their 100th year celebration in June at their school on Central Avenue.

September 25, the last Sunday is September is the Winton Old Timers' reunion. We will be selling books and mugs there also.

October will have a Halloween Carnival.

And in December they are hoping to have the Christmas party like they used to have downtown by the firehouse.

Other events are still in the planning stage.
