All month in June: Dundee's special sesquicentennial celebration By Alex Rodriguez Herald staff writer Those lazy, hazy days of summer are just around the corner, but summer in Dundee Township this year promises to be a bit more special than usual. The township is commemorating its 150th birthday with a year-round celebra­ tion organized by the Dundee Ses­ quicentennial Jubilee Comittee. Everything from a summer parade to an evening of music and fireworks to the renovation of an old East Dundee train depot are being planned. Sesquicentennial activities have picked up in the last two months. More residents are pledging time and money to the organizing committee, according to com­ mittee chairman Ginny Buhrmann. A chili supper fundraiser held in March raised $775 for the committee, and more fundraising efforts are being planned in May and June. - In addition, the villages of East Dundee and West Dundee have pledged $3,000 and $2,000 respectively from federal revenue sharing funds. The committee is still waiting on Carpentersville's answer to their $2,000 request. Sleepy Hollow has put $500 toward the printing of "The Romance of Dundee Township," a history of the township writ­ ten by historian Irma Dupre and reprinted as part of the sesquicentennial celebra­ tion.
