A time capsule buried 25 years ago in front of the Lidice Monument in Phillips was dug up recently by City of Phillips employees as members of the Czech-Slovak organisation looked on.
A few of the items from inside the capsule included: two half dollars dated 1990; a letter from former Congressman David Obey; a letter from former president of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel, a history book and memorabilia, the Czech-Slovak org by-laws; a container of soil from Lidice; various articles from The Phillips BEE; various photographs, a play manuscript, and several other brochures. The items will be displayed at the Lidice Service on 19 June at the 1st Baptist Church and again at the festival.
The organization plans to bury a capsule again during this year’s 32nd Annual Phillips Czechoslovakian Community Festival planned for June 19-21.
