Rose Hill's 50th Anniversary Celebration Photo Gallery On Sunday, October 3, 2004, after an annoying "rain delay", Rose Hill residents celebrated the 50th anniversary of their community.  The day was filled with festivities, entertainment, good food, and demonstrations from those who serve and protect our community.  It was well attended by many residents and honored guests.  This small photo gallery highlights some of the memorable events. A very special thanks to Coca Cola for donating the soft drinks and Dove Heating and Air Conditioning for the hot dogs and rolls. Also, Roy Rogers in Manchester Lakes for providing the hamburgers and rolls at cost and the ice and condiments at no charge. Vocelli Pizza in Rose Hill provded the pizzas at cost. And, the beautiful floral centerpiece was provided by Christopher's Flowers in Hayfield. Please remember all our friends when you have need for their services.
