An exhibit celebrating the 75 year legacy of the Palmetto High School Mustang Mascot will open Thursday, April 3 at the Williamston Municipal Center.
The exhibit, “Celebrating the Legacy of the Palmetto Mustang Mascot: A Community Journey!” is the culmination of countless hours of research, planning, and heartfelt collaboration – a true community effort, the organizers said.
It is a joint effort of Thomas Addison and Jack Ellenburg, with help from many others in the community.
Opening night will include a reception and special program with little-known history about the Mustang Mascot, along with photography, art, personal recollections and contributions from around the community.
The exhibit and opening night program is open to the public and is free for anyone who would like to know more about the local high school mascot including its origin.
In addition to photos and other examples of the Mustang mascot, there will be items and photos on display that show different ways it has been used, including pencils, T-shirts and even painted on the Big Creek Water Tank located on Hwy. 29.
While the exhibit will focus on the mascot, there will also be a display of old year books, sports schedule posters, an old football helmet from the 1960s and other items
The Opening Night Program and Reception, which will include personal recollections, will be held Thursday, April 3rd from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the Williamston Municipal Center.
The exhibit will be on display at the Municipal Center through May and can be seen during regular business hours and other evening hours when Town Hall is open for meetings and other activities.
