Llano 1963 Year In Review From Quiet Progress To Local Wins
Llano residents saw a year of calm growth highlighted by Bethlehem Scene's lighting contest win by Bobby Kuhn and a strong civic effort by the City, Chamber of Commerce, and Lions Club. The year included ranch vandalism near Field Creek, a new bank in Kingsland, highway work on SH 29, a large REA loan, and a record Junior Livestock Show turnout with $6,029 in sale receipts. The assassination of Kennedy loomed largest in memory for Llano residents as 1963 closed.
