Now, that's a lot of candles!
City of Bryan marks 135th anniversary with free party
 
1871 was no ordinary year:
 

*	Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man that humans evolved
from animals. 
*	The Great Chicago Fire left nearly 100,000 people homeless.  
*	Aviation pioneer Orville Wright was born.  
*	The Texas legislature established the Agricultural & Mechanical
College of Texas. 
*	And Bryan, Texas, was officially incorporated as a city. 

To mark its 135th anniversary, the City of Bryan will host a party for
the community on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2 p.m.-5 p.m. at Sue Haswell
Memorial Park.
 
Children can enjoy bouncers, games and rock climbing, while all ages can
test their skills in a horseshoe tournament; enter drawings for birthday
presents; sample the food, drinks and birthday cake; then take in the
sounds of The Big Otis Show Band. Big Otis will sing a special rendition
of Happy Birthday at 3 p.m. and then launch into his signature tunes
that range from rhythm and blues to Motown favorites.
 
All 135th anniversary events, including the Big Otis concert, are free.
 
For more information, contact Bryan Parks & Recreation at 979.209.5526.
Be sure to get your City of Bryan 135th Anniversary insert in the Nov.
17 edition of The Bryan-College Station Eagle.
