Highlights Lake County will be the place to be during the entire year of 2000, as the Millennium Commission is planning a series of special events that will celebrate the county's rich heritage and remarkable quality of life. Established in December of 1998 by County Board resolution, the Millennium Commission now has its own home page and a calendar of events that will be updated on a frequent basis. The commission meets at 9 a.m. the third Tuesday of each month at the County Building.
All interested persons are welcome.
