Anniversaries were celebrated this week in Vicksburg.

On Thursday, The Friends of the Vicksburg National Park and Campaign held a Centennial Sunset Reception and fundraiser that drew more than 100 people paying $100 per person to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.

“The Friends of the Vicksburg National Military Parks & Campaign is our nonprofit partner,” park Superintendent Bill Justice said. “They help us a lot with programs like the annual (Memorial Day) concert. We are very fortunate to have them helping the park.”

On Friday, the Attic Gallery, located on Washington Street, celebrated its 45th anniversary during an art show entitled “Still Standing.”

“It (the theme) seemed to sum up our feelings about being able to continue doing what I love doing — bringing art and artists and people together in a very special place and sharing their energy and talent,” gallery owner Lesley Silver said.
