Saturday, December 10, 2016 at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum was special for many Hoosiers across Indiana. The Bicentennial Gala was a sponsor invitation only event that showcased many talented Hoosiers and concluded Indiana’s yearlong Bicentennial celebration. One of the most anticipated events of the year, the Bicentennial Gala created a sense of civic pride for all in attendance celebrating Indiana’s 200th Birthday.
This engaging evening honored Indiana’s distinct personality with dynamic entertainment originating from the Hoosier state and highlighted the County Coordinators from all 92 counties, who volunteered their time getting their county involved in the celebration. Hoosiers from all counties gathered to share in their heritage and enjoy the festivities in the capital city. As the invited guests made their way onto the Coliseum floor to be seated, an onstage program began with a recognizable Indiana native as the master of ceremonies.
The program consistently highlighted and celebrated Indiana’s past, present, and future. Notable musical talent was included to enhance the celebration. At the end of the night, guests took home a unique and commemorative memento. It was an evening Indiana will not forget!
