A special and unique souvenir commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Osage City, Kan, will be available at Christmas on Market Street, Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020.
Local postal service will be available 9-11 a.m. at the Osage County Senior Center, 604 Market St., to provide the special postmark. This location will be set up as the temporary postal retail station.
For holiday greeting cards, bring sufficient first-class mail postage envelopes to have the commemorative Osage City 150th anniversary pictorial postmark applied on the envelope. Individuals can also personally present an addressed or unaddressed envelope, postal card or other items with sufficient first-class mail postage to the postal clerk at the temporary retail station. Stamped envelopes will be available for purchase either by cash or check. The clerk will apply the commemorative pictorial postmark and hand the item back to the individual.
If an individual is unable to attend Saturday, the Postal Service provides mail-back service. The individual can mail pre-stamped envelopes and cards to the Osage City Post Office, 123 S. Sixth St., Osage City, KS 66523, and they will apply the pictorial postmark. To qualify for this service, mail-in requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the actual pictorial postmark date.
