The celebration will feature different themed rooms with entertainment, food, open bar and fun from different cities across America. We will entertain our diverse members and their guests with food and entertainment and decor from New York, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago and Dallas. \u201cWe hope to excite our membership and prepare our local for the next 125 years,\u201d said Business Manager George Hogan. Early ticket sales have been brisk.<\/p>\n<p>In 1892, the year IBEW Local 26 got its charter, Washington, D.C. was comprised of dirt roads, cow pastures, and only a few of the monuments that stand today. By 1894, Local 26 members had set the U. S. Capitol building ablaze with lights for the first time<br \/>\nin history. 125 years later IBEW is still going strong. This celebration is a testament to all who have worked so hard to make it what it is today.
