The cruise-in/monument 100th birthday celebration was a success. Great weather and a great crowd blessed downtown Angola. At 6pm, we paused to hear Mayor Hickman and Baron von Steuben (also known as Commissioner Ron Smith) pay tribute to the Angola Soldiers' Monument and what it represents. Hopefully, 100 years from now it will still be celebrated.
