The Centennial Community Bonfire will be from 5-7 p.m. on Dec. 30 at City Hall campus at 15670 N.E. 85th St. and give the community the opportunity to mingle with friends and neighbors.

Peet’s Coffee & Tea samples will be available as well as s’mores kits for $2 each. All proceeds will benefit the Redmond Kiwanis Club. In addition there will be luminaria and live musical performances by the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band, Greg Paul and Redmond’s own Celtic Fire.

The City of Redmond was incorporated as a city on Dec. 31, 1912, following a community vote and the birth of Ernest Alexander Adams (born Nov. 24, 1912), who brought the population of Redmond to 300, the number needed to incorporate as a city.

Redmond now encompasses 17.14 square miles and has a population of 54,144 according to the 2011 census.
