The Board of County Commissioners invites you to join in celebrating the 150th year of Polk County, beginning Feb. 8, 2011. We hope you will be a part of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to display our heritage and our civic pride. With your help, we can unify all of our accomplishments by paying reverence to our past, our present-day community, and our promising future. Polk Proud 150 is a time to remember what is great about our county and to go confidently forward. This is the year to say the word "Sesquicentennial" - so make the most of it! Hope you will support the many events planned by our partners throughout the year.
