bicentennial sites Hydrants Color Maple City To get an early start for the Bicentennial year, Goshen residents began their activities during the summer of 1975 by painting fire plugs throughout the Maple City. The old plugs, painted by young and old alike,turned into famous presidents, famous women and people who made history in America. As the new year was ushered in, residents began to plan other bicen- tennial activities through the Chamber of Commerce. Activities sug- gested were a July 4 dy-long celebration, and planting 200 maple trees ir the city parks. Many other ideas were suggested. Z., --1-.-'fi,'f 1 s'!w'g-., I-'nf ' 'Q is 'J 4 2 -x-+ 1 .
