With texting, e-mail and all the other technological methods of communicating in this day and age, it is refreshing to see a letter writing campaign.  That is exactly what City of Fishers announced Monday.

It’s all part of celebrating the Fishers Sesquicentennial, 150 years.  It all starts today and ends June 30. Letters will be placed inside a time capsule in the new Arts & Municipal Complex at 1 Municipal Drive, set to open next year. Fishers has partnered with Towne Post on the creation and curation of the time capsule, which will be placed inside the keystone of the new building and set to opened in 2073.

Let’s just say I do not expect to be around the the 2073 opening of the capsule.

Letters can be delivered in person to the blue mailbox in the breezeway of the Fishers City Services Building (3 Municipal Drive) and lobby for Hamilton East Public Library- Fishers (5 Municipal Drive). No envelope is required if dropped directly into the blue mailbox. Letters can also be addressed to “Fishers Time Capsule” and mailed to 3 Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana 46038 by Friday, June 30. Letters should be no more than one page.

Residents can also check the Fishers Parks booth at the Fishers Farmers Market on June 10 and 17 to write and deliver their letters.

The City has created a Mad Lib style letter for kids that is available for download on ThisIsFishers.com/Fishers150.

The campaign will help to wrap up the City’s year-long Sesquicentennial celebration, which launched last June and honors 150 years of Fishers history.
