WINDERMERE Citizens and officials of the town of Windermere helped preserve history Friday, April 28, during the town’s monthly food truck event with the burying of a time capsule. The capsule, set to be opened in 2050, is a 12-inch by 12-inch by 24-inch box, and even with all the items inside it was only a third full, Mayor Gary Bruhn said. All items inside and the box are sealed and protected with materials that will help ensure effective preservation for up to 100 years. Items included a Fitbit, smart watch, letter from the current mayor to the mayor of 2050, a Robbie German end-of-watch medallion lanyard, a copy of the Windermere Observer and a Windermere Elementary School yearbook.
