McDonald to celebrate birthday with suitcase

The Village of McDonald will celebrate its 100th birthday with a traveling suitcase. David Martin, Kyle Joynes and Chris Rupe will prepare a suitcase full of artifacts to help teach the history of McDonald to grade-school students. Rupe is trying to renew a similar program used by Jim Copham in 1960s for third-grade students at Roosevelt School. Anyone who has small artifacts that would be of interest to school children can contact Rupe by searching for The Historical Society of McDonald on Facebook.
