As 2010 winds down, centennial celebrations for three Central Oregon cities also come to a close. The 3 cities marking their 100 year anniversary are Redmond, Madras and Culver. The Mayor of Culver, Shawna Clanton, says it's important to get connected with your community's history: “I think everybody needs to know their roots and where they came from. It's a sense of pride; I'm an Air Force brat; so I've lived all over the world. I've made culver my home and the more I learn about the history of Culver and the people that pioneered this area, the prouder I am to be able to even in this short time belong to this community." Culver, Madras and Redmond all had many special celebrations throughout the year to remember their 100 year birthdays.
