What’s the best way to celebrate your 100th birthday? Madison Area Technical College’s centennial celebration will include a free outdoor concert and 100 dozen cupcakes.
On Wednesday, September 21, Madison College will kick-off its centennial celebration with a cupcake walk for students, faculty and staff that highlights the College’s storied history. There will be 100 dozen cupcakes to celebrate Madison College’s 100 years. The cupcakes are being created by the College’s Baking and Pastry Arts students.
Later that afternoon, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the College’s Health Education, Protective Services, Ingenuity Center and other new buildings that were approved by voters in last November’s $134 million referendum. That includes renovations at the College’s regional campuses.
Community leaders will also take part in a special centennial reception and the evening will wrap-up with a centennial rock concert by the cover band Honeyshot. The concert is free and open to the public.
