Several hundred well-wishers gathered at the James E. Bruce Convention Center Thursday night to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of the center and see the unveiling of the new logo. That new logo indicates the center will now be known simply as The Bruce.
Board Chairman Darrel Gustafson traced the beginning of the center from the original idea that was introduced at a Chamber of Commerce retreat.
