Westminster turns 147

Everyone is invited to an event Saturday in Westminster to mark the 147th year of  Oconee’s third-largest municipality.  From 11 am to 3 pm, there will be activities, snacks, and refreshments.  Free punch and cupcakes will be served at the General Store Museum on E. Main.  Across the street at the Depot, at noon Saturday, will be the place to go to learn about some fun facts and the history of the city.  One unknown fact is that Westminster was officially founded on St. Patrick’s Day.
