WITH THE COMMUNITY PHOTO “CLICK AT 1:30 PM”.
You can be a part of the annual First Night Cadillac 2008 Community Photo, taken in front at the Wexford County Historical Museum on Beech Street at 1:30 PM by Cadillac photographer John Nelson perched in the Aerial Fire Truck. Free copies of the Community Photo will be available at Cadillac Printing Company on Janurary 5th by presenting your First Night Button. This is the tenth year that Cadillac Printing Company has offered this service, free of charge to our community!
Welcome to another wonderful First Night® Cadillac celebration! I invite you to participate in all of the festivities. Our theme this year will be "TIME FLIES". This year we want to focus on the heritage and the history of Cadillac as we celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary of First Night® Cadillac! I am honored to have been part of the celebration for all of them. I really look forward to seeing everyone and all of your families.
I would like to invite you and your family for an afternoon and evening of fun. We kick off the event with the Community Photo at the Wexford County Historical Museum on Beech Street. From there you can travel to downtown Cadillac to enjoy food, entertainment and fun as you participate in the puzzle hunt, which is very exciting this year as it will bring together the ten Millie Logos of our event.
In the attached schedule you will see a full array of events, activities and entertainment that are sure to delight the whole family. It couldn’t be more exicting!
None of this would have been possible without the support of the many individual and business sponsors, the First Night Committee, the support and encouragement of Past President, Linda Kimbel and as always Cadillac Area Public Schools. Many tireless volunteers have come before us to grow a strong foundation for this New Year’s Eve event and again this year we know you’ll enjoy it. To all our sponsors and friends we remain profoundly grateful.
Thank you & have fun!
