Happy birthday, Nevada, from Nevada City, Calif.

The Nevada/Vernon County Chamber of Commerce has received postcards from all over the country congratulating the city on its sesquicentennial. Denver, Colo.; San Diego and Nevada City, Calif., have been among the cities people have sent cards from and the chamber is expecting to continue receiving cards through the rest of the year. Melissa Earll, a Nevada, Mo., native, has been spreading the news of Nevada and Vernon County's 150th anniversary, especially to the California city bearing the same name by which Nevada was originally known, Nevada City. Above is a sampling of the post cards received.
