Comanche County marks a hundred years since its creation in a centennial year event. Residents gathered at the courthouse for a mass meeting and voted unanimously to celebrate this milestone now while living, noting the county’s long history and the rarity of such a celebration. The piece contrasts centennial joy with aging residents and speaks to community pride and tradition.
A 20 member committee led by Bil Parks will meet again to finalize plans for a countywide Centennial Celebration between now and September first. County communities plan a distinctive event without copying neighbors, with optional dress and a focus on a year of local festivities. Comanche High School showcased four historical stunts last Friday in a program praised as the best local history portrayal yet.
