The Stone County Sesquicentennial Celebration, June 2, 2001, brought friends 
and neighbors from throughout the county to the courthouse lawn to watch the 
parade, shop with the vendors, watch the beard, fiddlin', pie eating contests, other activities and the Delaware Tribe perform their native dances.

One Stone County tradition still remains strong 150 years later -- neighbors still like to get together and "visit."
