The town of Felton is 150 years old, and townsfolk are gearing up to throw a grand anniversary bash. The town party will include historical presentations of Felton’s early days, which will be on display at Felton Community Hall and the Felton Fire Station, 4 bands, dancing, various other entertainment and of course, lots of local food and drink, shopping, kids events, crafts and more.
The 150th celebration will be on Saturday, October 6th, from noon to 6pm at Kirby Street & Highway 9.
At noon sharp a specially formed Felton Colors Honor Guard, comprised of Felton’s own Boy Scouts Troop 604, Girl Scouts, and local 4-H members will be retiring and replacing the Felton Fire Station’s Old Glory, as well as raising the Felton Sesquicentennial flag.
Please join us for this commemoration and celebration of our town’s history.
Felton is named after John B. Felton, an anti-prohibitionist attorney and one of the first Regents of the College of California. The town was the early logging terminus for the timber cut farther up the San Lorenzo Valley.
Already, dozens of volunteers are working on the plans for the celebration, but more volunteers are needed and welcomed. To join with your neighbors to help with or contribute to this fun event, please contact Mary Andersen at 831-335-6500.
The Felton and surrounding communities are invited to bring their historical items to put on display and share. For display space, please contact Ronnie Trubek rt*****@ao*.com.
