Few educators leave a lifetime impression on you like Dr. Richard Stamps, retired professor from Oakland University with whom I took a class somewhere around 1987.  This morning he came to see me about the Oakland County Bicentennial Celebration that is taking place all year long. 

Auburn Hills is one of sixty-two proud communities that co-exist in the county and Dr. Stamps is doing his part to promote this milestone.  At the very least, Auburn Hills will begin to recognize the bicentennial with some co-branding initiatives, but you will also find us adding an Oakland County 200^th birthday influence to some of our events and activities in 2020. 

Our staff will be meeting soon to begin to formulate ideas about how we will celebrate the county’s 200^th birthday locally.  Keep an eye out for special events that will be occurring throughout Oakland County all year long.

 The latest information for 200^th birthday happenings can be found at www.oakgov.com/bicentennial.
