City resident Willa Mae Donald gives the historic bell from Weyburn's old post office a ring with a hammer, during the City of Weyburn's centennial birthday celebration held over noon on Friday. After the first ring by Mayor Debra Button, citizens were invited to step up and ring the bell, so that there was a total of 100 rings to mark the birthday. The bell will be saved and mounted with bricks saved from the Weyburn Collegiate (which was built in 1913) when it is demolished later this year. The brick bell monument was approved by the Parks Board to be set up along the boardwalk near the Soo Line Museum.
