Shafter Year in Review 1977 Highlights and Changes
The Shafter year features a secret witness program with police and donors, school board changes, a mayoral and council activity, fire damage at Shafter Blanesa Apartment, Miss Shafter 1977 chosen, and the Generalettes softball team winning the SSL championship. Infrastructure, drought, new wells, and Reno’s reopening mark a year of growth and disruption.
