The Simsbury 250th Celebration Committee was formed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It's made up of community volunteers. The Simsbury Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit is the admin.

Our float was the brainchild of Bob Moody, chair of this committee and former president of the Simsbury Historical Society. Bob is a longtime historical society volunteer and, if you didn't know, quite the artist. He handcrafted the eagle, almost entirely out of paper mache! Thank you, Bob and Nichole and family members who worked long hours creating this masterpiece!
