centennial celebration, a patriotic red-white-and-blue-themed float carried

shirts.
The parade was the first in a
series of events planned to
celebrate the college's 100th anniversary. Additional plans include participation in the
Wellsville Sesquicentennial parade on Saturday, Aug. 11; a month-long display
at Steuben Trust Co., Hornell, during August, with a reception to be held
Sunday, Aug. 12, from 2-4 p.m.; a "Taste of Wellsville" event on the ASC
Applied Technology Campus on Saturday, Oct. 6; and another month-long window
display at the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce during November. Additionally, a history book is in the
works.
For additional information, visit
the ASC Web site where a centennial section will be available in August. Pictured here, ASC staffers make last-minute
preparations before the start of the parade.
