To the Editor:

On behalf of the Marion Harbormaster’s Department I would like to thank all of those that attended our Bird Island Lighthouse Bicentennial Celebration on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019. A great time was had by all.

We would like to thank Donna Hemphill, Karen Perry, the Marion Cultural Council, Tom Guard, Stephen Gonsalves, Charlie Bradley, Ed Bradley, Jody Dickerson, Pete Smith and all the volunteers that made this evening such a success. A special thank you to the artists that donated either items for sale or their artwork for the Silent Auction: Albin Johnson, Anthony Days, David Zapatka, Helen Hills and Anne Cummings.

Once again, thank you to all involved. It was a great evening and we appreciate the support.

Isaac Perry
