Sesquicentennial Celebration

Let it be known!

Whereas, Bellevue has been a community for 150 years, officially established on January 16, 1857; and,

Whereas, citizens of Bellevue and the surrounding area are welcome in honor of this momentous event to visit the Bellevue Village Hall, parks, and attending events and picnics; to enjoy and take part in family activities; and,

Whereas, Bellevue has become known as a great place to grow and will in the future continue to prosper within Brown County for the greater good.

Now, therefore, I, Craig Beyl, Village President of Bellevue, do congratulate the Village on its Sesquicentennial celebration and do hereby proclaim 2007 as our 150th year of establishment.

Signed this 9th day of May, 2007.

Craig Beyl; Village President
