Cadiz Bicentennial Celebration: Part One

Much different than most kids, I grew up with both of my parents in the school system. When my friends found out that my mom and dad are both high school teachers, they immediately felt sorry for me. I didn't mind it though, because it was the only thing I had ever known. My dad has always been very skilled at rattling off what I saw as useless facts about everything under the sun. Since I was little, he has tried to show me the importance of knowing the history of our country, sports, Cadiz, and anything in between.

In August, I started working at the Tourism Center here in Cadiz. I began hearing conversations about the Bicentennial Celebration and I blew it off because I thought if it was that big of a deal, I would have heard about it before. Little did I know, it would be the talk of the town for the entire year of 2020 and even after that. The more I heard about it, the more interested I became. I learned that Cadiz would be turning 200 years old (1820-2020) and there was TONS of history behind our little town.

Did you know there are two known Trigg Countians fighting in the War of 1812? Or that the first issue of the Kentucky Telephones Newspaper was published in Canton? Or even the story of the 1902 fires that destroyed the Cadiz Bank along with the Cadiz Hotel and multiple goods stores. These are all things that I have learned while researching the history in Cadiz! I encourage you to participate in the events that will be happening throughout the year and to collect your pins! If you would like to know more about the events and pins, stay tuned until next week!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
