The burial of a time capsule containing a slice of the city’s past and present, a birthday cake big enough to feed 2,000 people, and old fashioned family-oriented games will be the main attractions when Parkland celebrates its 45 birthday this Saturday.
While the city will ring in the day with a renewal of Parkland Days at the Equestrian Center, the Parkland Historical Society will give a time capsule to the city.
The time capsule is to be opened in 2063, when the city turns 100. Although most of the items inside it will remain a secret, it will contain the city seal, a printed copy of the city's Web page, a message from the mayor, and photos of various historical landmarks.
The 45th birthday bash will be at the Equestrian Center, 8350 Ranch Road in Parkland. The event is free and open to all city residents.
