In honoring the 200-year celebration and city tradition, The City of Streetsboro will cap off the day at 1:30pm with the burial of the 2022 Bicentennial Time Capsule. The Bicentennial Committee is soliciting ideas for items to be placed inside the time capsule. Please email mkuhstos@hotmail.com. The stainless-steel capsule will be buried near the Fire Station, to be unearthed in 2072 during the Semiquincentennial celebrations. The exact burial location will be indicated with a granite marker that will allow citizens to visit for the next 50 years.
