Commemorative Projects

As part of the 50th-anniversary celebrations, a proposal has been made to construct a traditional Japanese Torii gate at the Placerville Library. This symbolic structure would serve as a lasting testament to the enduring friendship between El Dorado County and Warabi. Discussions are ongoing, and community input is being sought to finalize the plans.
