Endowment Fund Created by Scurry Bicentennial Panel
A $6,000 endowment fund was created for the Scurry County Museum Association by the Scurry County Bicentennial Commission, which ended its existence this morning. The funds came from the Bicentennial Committee accounts used to finance July 4, 1976, celebrations. Delbert Downing said the money was raised via medallions and cookbooks and will earn interest for ongoing museum income to purchase cassette players for visitor explanations. The committee, formed in 1975, had been praised by Downing as among the best in West Texas.
