The Winkelman Historic Bridge is one of the sites of interest in the town that is turning 100 years this year.

The Town of Winkelman will be celebrating the 100th birthday of its founding Oct. 11 with something for everyone.

The Centennial Celebration is planned to get underway at noon at Winkelman Flats Public Park with a free BBQ, corn dogs, birthday cake and drinks.

A history of the town will be on display throughout the event complete with pictures and several keynote speakers will address the crowd. Also on the agenda are entertainment and a dance in the evening. A Kids Zone is also planned for the youngsters with train rides, piñatas, mechanical bull and a rock climbing wall.

In addition the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition is expected to unveil the Winkelman Ore Cart exhibit by artist Nancy Dunn.

Vendors, other than food, are welcome for a charge of $20 and a beer and wine garden will be available with a charged fee. Call the Winkelman Town Hall for more information.

Come one, come all. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the day and the evening at Winkelman Flats Public Park.
