At a special organizational meeting
on March 30, 1948, the Constitution and Bylaws of the Colesburg
Community Club were adopted. Eighty nine men were present at this
meeting, as membership was open to any resident of Colesburg and
surrounding vicinity. Dues were set at $3 each, and an Executive
Committee was appointed.
The first project of this Club was the
organizing a town picnic , with the purpose of raising funds for
community improvements .During the years to follow, the commercial
club made many improvements and additions to the town, through
their yearly fund raisers, dues and donations. In 1987 they started
the Miss Colesburg Contest, selecting a girl from this area, who
is a student at Ed-Co High School, to represent out town
in various events throughout the year. The present day Commercial
Club is still very active in community affairs, and sponsors the
following events each year:
