On October 12, 2016, the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay will be in Tippecanoe County.  To commemorate this special event, a Tippecanoe County Bicentennial Celebration will take place prior to the beginning of the relay. The Tippecanoe County Bicentennial Celebration will take place at Loeb Stadium from 7 to 8:30am.  A complimentary pancake breakfast, provided by Bison Financial Group, will be served starting at 7am until food is gone. From 8:10 to 8:25am, a short program with the Tippecanoe County Commissioners, Lafayette and West Lafayette Mayors plus local and state Bicentennial coordinators will be taking place. Everyone is welcome to come and participate at this local celebration. Following the Tippecanoe County Bicentennial Celebration is the official start of the Torch Relay at 8:30am.  Torchbearer Richard Boehning, will lead the relay outside Loeb Stadium at Wallace Avenue. 55 torchbearers will then carry the torch through Lafayette and West Lafayette, ending at Klondike School.
