Ladie’s Night – Every Wednesday (click for details)

For 30 years, LongHorn Steakhouse has proudly served steaks, chicken and fish that are always fresh, never frozen. Known for its passion for grilling inspired by the American West, our steaks include the signature hand-seasoned Flo’s Filet and the bone-in Outlaw Ribeye. And there’s more on the menu than just great steaks, like expertly grilled fresh fish and fresh chicken. Enjoy specialties such as LongHorn Salmon, a fresh, hand-cut salmon fillet seasoned with a bourbon marinade; fall-off-the-bone tender Baby Back Ribs; and Parmesan Crusted Chicken, two juicy chicken breasts grilled and topped with a parmesan cheese and garlic crust.

INGOT PASSING                          DECEMBER 1^ST @11 AM             MARKET ON MADISON

Bronze ingots are passed from person to person, up to Verdin foundry personnel who then load the furnace with the final bits of bronze.  The Verdin casting team explains in detail how a bell is made, the details of what is happening on the site and what history is being made.

POURING OF THE BELL                DECEMBER 1^{ST @} 5 PM             MARKET ON MADISON

4-5 hours after the ingot passing event, the pouring of the bell happens.  This is the length of time it takes to heat the furnace to a melting temperature of 2200 degrees.  Bell bronze is ready to be poured into the bell mold at 2200 degrees.  This is a very exciting event to watch.

BELL BREAKOUT                   DECEMBER 2^ND @ 10 AM              MARKET ON MADISON

The bell breakout means that the bell is broken out of the sand mold where it has cooled overnight. City dignitaries break the custom bell from its mold.  Verdin provides the bronze sledge hammers for this ceremony.  After the bell breakout, it takes a minimum of 5 hours to grind, polish, stain and highlight the bell and prepare it for dedication.  These tasks are very educational and the Verdin crew is on hand to discuss all the facets of this part of the bell casting.

BELL DEDICATION & OPENING CEREMONY   DECEMBER 2^ND @ 4:30 PM    MARKET ON MADISON

All participating Bicentennial organizations will be recognized

Come out and join our Elected Officials, City of Dublin Employees, Participating Bicentennial Organizations, and the Verdin Crew for the official start of our Bicentennial Celebration.  2012 will be a year to remember in the City of Dublin and you will not want to miss one minute of it!!

Once the bell has been polished and prepared for dedication, it is mounted into a dedication stand.  The bell in the dedication stand is positioned so that after the speeches, music, and ceremony, the bell can be rung by all attendees.  Bicentennial keepsakes will be on sale.
