Live music, local history and 13 centenarians — here's what's happening
Calhoun County Senior Services will host a celebration for centenarians on Thursday, July 17.
The celebration is set to honor 13 residents who have reached the age of 100 and beyond. According to the U.S. census for 2020, just 0.6% of the population was age 95 or older.
Attendees can enjoy live music, light refreshments and a screening of "Bud & Violet," a short film by Michigan cinematographer Eric Ebner.
According to a community announcement, the event also will feature a display of historic artifacts curated by the Marshall Historical Society and complimentary commemorative booklets that include stories and portraits of this year's honorees.
The event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Marshall United Methodist Church, 721 Old U.S. Highway 27, Marshall.
This free event is open to everyone and aims to connect the community with the remarkable lives of its oldest residents.
