Covington is planning an action-packed bicentennial kickoff event on Tuesday, September 25, 5:30 – 8 p.m., at the Covington Trailhead. Live performances by Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers plus the Saint Paul’s School “Marching Wolves”. BBQ and beverages will be available for purchase with proceeds to benefit the Covington Bicentennial Committee. This event is Free and Open to the Public, bring your lawn chairs! Other surprises include a book sale and signing by local Covington authors.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their old photos of “Historic Covington” to the celebration. The photos will be submitted to the Covington Bicentennial Postcard Contest, and winning photos will be used to create a series of Bicentennial commemorative postcards for sale at local retailers. All photos will be returned to their owners after the winners are selected.
