A committee led by Yates County Historian Len Kataskas has been working for 18 months to plan the county's bicentennial celebration in 2023.
Yates County Administrator Nonie Flynn says the celebration will get underway in February.
The Wagener apples are named after the family given credit for founding Yates County when it broke away from Ontario County in 1823.
One of the highlights of the bicentennial is an 1823 dinner in October. It will feature foods that residents would have eaten 200 years ago. Plans for the menu are still being finalized.
There will be a traveling exhibit visiting several locations throughout the county during the year. You can get the latest schedule for the bicentennial on the Yates County Facebook page.
