MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION

Whereas, the Buckhannon-Upshur High School “Class of 1969” will celebrate their 50th reunion this weekend, i.e., July 26 and 27 with fun events planned throughout their weekend including at the 88 Restaurant on East Main Street on Friday evening, & at the Event Center on Brushy Fork on Saturday evening; and,
