Welcome Home Col Colt in Bristol Firework Parade
Bristol honors Col Colt on his return after two years with a large public celebration. The National India Rubber Company plant will glow with 2000 electric globes and a Welcome sign as streets and the Colt Memorial High School display brighten. A 180 strong Reception Committee meets at Hotel Belvedere then parades to the depot to greet him with bombs, bands, and a three-obit welcome, followed by a formal presentation of a silver framed photograph at the Colt Memorial High School.
