Alexander News
Hundreds
of people, some citizens of Alexander, either past or present; some from
neighboring towns who have ties to Alexander; and some that just like to party,
descended on our little “burg” this weekend to help celebrate Alexander’s Quasquicentennial.
The Quasqui committee did an excellent job of coordinating all the events.
Games for the kids and adults were very entertaining; the history walk that
covered “times of yore” in Alexander was completed excellently. The parade was
two miles long and was really enjoyable to see all the creative floats for our
one mile long town. The car show was marvelous; this would be a fun annual
event. Venders were well prepared and had great food and beverages Friday night
in Dows, Saturday morning at the fire station for breakfast and all day
Saturday during our festival. We had excellent music for our day and the
fireworks extravaganza to close our celebration was just breathtaking.
