Pecos plans to send a delegate on the Broadway of America motorcade to Memphis. Sam Prewitt, manager of the Leader Grocery, will drive his car and possibly join other Pecos representatives on the trip. If K. M. Regan can go, Pecos will be represented alongside similarly sized towns on the Bankhead Highway. The west start is April 11 from San Diego, with Pecos arrival April 15 for lunch at Mint Cafe, then on to Memphis to meet the eastern motorcade from New York. The Memphis meeting will launch a nationwide publicity campaign for Broadway of America, highlighting the Bankhead Highway and Pecos as gateway to Carlsbad Caverns and Davis Mountains. Local leaders aim to gain national prominence amid talks of a new hotel and further improvements.
