200th Birthday Coming

Missouri’s 200th birthday of becoming a state is August 10. The state is planning events in every Missouri county to celebrate the milestone. First Lady Teresa Parson tells Missourinet she is looking forward to joining other Missourians and celebrating the bicentennial together…

Due to the pandemic, the traditional parade and ball to celebrate the governor’s inauguration were postponed in January. They will instead be held outdoors on September 18 in Jefferson City – with a bicentennial theme. More information about the events is on missouri2021.org.
