A Historical Presentation of Conventions in Saratoga by Supervisor Veitch - 04/30/2014

The City Center is celebrating 30 years of operation. This achievement calls for a look back.

 City Center President, Mark E. Baker has invited Supervisor Matthew Veitch to give an extensive on-site historical presentation on the rich history of conventions in Saratoga Springs as well as the road to the City Center's establishment.

The presentation will be held at the City Center on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 from 7-8:30pm. It will include numerous visuals and will begin with the development and construction of Convention Hall in 1893 as well as the fire that destroyed it. The public's reaction to the loss of this community treasure and the rallying to build a new Convention Hall during the 1960's and 1970's will also be included. Following will be the age of Urban Renewal, the process of founding the City Center and the recent expansion.

 The City Center warmly extends an invitation to the public to take a look back at Saratoga Springs' fascinating convention history and be enlightened. The City Center enjoys "Bringing People Together" and this event will be one for the history books!
