City improvement projects, a new city flag and a multi-day celebration are among the plans that are under way for the City of Winfield’s 150th anniversary celebration to kick off in 2023. There were initial plans to host the anniversary celebration in 2020, the 150th anniversary of the city’s founding in 1870. However, all other milestone celebrations have been based on the anniversary of the city’s incorporation, which occurred in 1873, Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Sarah Werner said. Planning for next year’s festivities are in the very early stages, Werner said. Plans are being directed by a small task force along with a larger planning group consisting of representatives from local civic groups, nonprofits and other organizations.
