Blizzard and Change Mark Wolcott's 1966 Year
The Wolcott year featured the Big Blizzard of 66 ending January burying the area in snow. The Walcott Hospital closed July 1 due to Medicare rules. Two gun deaths drew attention in Red Creek with one man killed March 1 and a later murder-suicide case arising. An armed robbery at A and P in Walcott frightened residents. The Swamp Fighters opposed a state land grab, a Rockefeller veto followed. Governor Rockefeller won reelection in November. Real estate saw a $308,000 560-acre Shaker Heights deal in February. The Apple Harvest Festival drew a large crowd in September with Congressman Horton as honorary grand marshal. George Jones bowled Wolcott’s first sanctioned 300 game and high school soccer began under night lighting.
