Solvang Chamber of Commerce will celebrate its 100-year anniversary with the burial of a time capsule, 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 487 Atterdag Road, in the area between Mortensen’s Bakery and Peasant’s Feast.

Leaving a legacy for the future, the Solvang Chamber of Commerce and local business owners will include in the capsule Solvang memorabilia that reflects the city’s history; the items will be showcased for future community leaders to open in the year 2047.

The time capsule idea was initiated by Tracy Beard, the chamber’s executive director.

The capsule will be lowered into the ground between Mortensen’s Bakery and Peasant’s Feast, which is where the Dania Hall building used to be. Dania Hall was a longtime meeting place; the Solvang Chamber was started there by the Solvang Businessmen’s Association (SBA), which was created 10 years after the town was founded in 1911.

The group that met in Dania Hall included A.E Fauroso, M.L Baker, H.C. Hansen, T. Austed, Mr. Harksen, Marcus Neilsen, S.H. Lyons, and Mr. Albert Rasmusen.

The outdoor event will invite the Solvang community, chamber members, local politicians and leaders, and contributors.

The Solvang business community will be honoring the chamber’s 100-year anniversary by sharing the businesses’ historical stories.

There will wine, champagne, and other beverages as individual cheese and cracker plates, cookies, and a cake from Bent Olsen. Savory items are provided by The Vinhus, Olsen’s Bakery, Solvang Bakery, and Lions Peak Winery.
