Signs of the times

Sun, 03/19/2023 - 01:00

Ennis opened a time capsule last year that was 50-years-old and discovered it had leaked and ruined much of its contents. Since then, staff have been collecting items about the city for a new container of symbols and memorabilia of the Bluebonnet City that will be preserved for the next 50 years. Many of the items have been on display in the lobby of the Welcome Center. They may be viewed through March 26. This sesquicentennial time capsule will then be closed until Ennis’ Bicentennial celebration in 2072.
