will be some music, opening, welcome by the Commissioners, introduction
of special guests (including local politicians) remarks by Judge Dalton,
a short presentation, called "Tioga," by the Hamilton-Gibson theater group,
remarks by Governor Edward Rendell, presentation of commemorative gifts
to him, closing and birthday cake. The order is a bit fluid because of
the uncertainty of the exact time of the Governor's arrival.
