Comanche County Bicentennial Planning and Celebrations Recap
The Comanche County Bicentennial Committee organized in January 1975 with Co-Chairmen John Dudley and John Weaver to plan 1976 and 1978 events. A wide range of activities included a Pony Express reenactment, Flag Day recognition, a courthouse ceremony, a July 4th Promontory Park celebration, and a Miss Spirit of 76 pageant. The project featured school band collaborations, Bicentennial window displays, and county history and museum fund drives, with ongoing heritage planning through 1975 and into 1976.
