In 2008 the town of Chase celebrated its 100th birthday. The celebrations consisted of 100 days of various events leading up to a week long celebration on August 1st to 9th, 2008. During the celebrations the Chase Rotary Club unveiled its birthday present to the town, a beautiful free standing, four faced clock. Its unveiling was just one of dozens of happenings during 2008 which took place during the 109 days of centennial celebrations.
On November 14, 2007, well before the beginning of Chase's birthday fiesta, the Rossland News published an article notifying readers of this auspicious upcoming event. It is reproduced below.
