Welcome to the 100 Year Celebration for the Village of Champion!!

The CHAMPION CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE would

like to thank:

the individuals who got the town “ready”

for the celebration

the organizations and businesses who

contributed to the food and beverages

over the weekend

the businesses and individuals from

throughout the County who contributed

time and supplies

the contributors of the benches, planters

and signs

the individuals and organizations who pro-

vided cash contributions

In commemoration of Champion’s 100th Anniversary, a grant

was received from the Government of Canada, Canadian Herit-

age, Community Historical Anniversaries Programming, to pro-

vide assistance with the historical and cultural related activities

throughout the weekend and help in building the new gazebo

and historical display (Legacy Corner) on Main Street. We would

like to thank Jane Bexton for her artwork, Brenda Delude and

Marilyn Wolfe for the construction plans, Don Reed for his weld-

ing skills, Klitmoller Construction, Contour Construction for the

concrete donation, and the volunteers who helped with the pro-

ject.

Commemorative Merchandise is available at the Seniors Center, including T shirts, go cups, water bottles, stuffed animals and magnets. Videos of the weekend can be ordered.

The actual incorporation date of the Village of Champion was May 27, 1911. Much has hap-

pened over the last 100 years, and the CHAMPION CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE hopes that you

enjoy your time renewing old friendships, building new ones, and remembering all that has

made the community of Champion what it is.
