Photos: Byron celebrates 200th anniversary

By Howard B. Owens

The Byron Bicentennial Committee delivered Saturday on its promise of a full day of activities to celebrate the town's 200th birthday.

It's two years late but we all know what has kept people from public gatherings for two years.

The day included a 5K, parade, food, games, vendors, music,  a car show, and fireworks.

After the morning parade, Assemblyman Steve Hawley presented Town Supervisor Peter Yasses and Matt Meier, president of the Byron Historical Society, with a State Assembly Proclamation to commemorate the anniversary (top photo).
