Bixby Holds Bicentennial Green Corn Festival Locally
Bixby officials told Governor Boren the three day Bicentennial and Green Corn Festival was completed with no state funds. Charles Alldread of the Optimist Club said the event was privately funded and organized. He urged communities to fund local events without federal or state aid. Boren planned to veto local appropriation for future events next year, though this year’s funds were tied to a larger bicentennial lump sum.
