Fourth of July Celebration in Bedford with Parade
Amid rain the Bedford Fourth featured a large Conway and Bedford delegation, a grand parade on East Main Street, and a court house park program with speeches by W D Blakemore, Wrank Wisdom, J Mabry, and S Cobb. The day ended with a greased pig chase, a Frog Valley baseball win, and a grand fireworks display.
