Donna Weber recently gave me some documents she found related to the Bovina Sesquicentennial Celebration, which took place August 29, 1970. I'm including two items of interest concerning the parade. One is the program announcing the celebration, with some additional notes in handwriting we don't quite recognize (if anyone does, let me know).

And on July 30, we will have the Belated Bovina Bicentennial celebration, including a parade, which we expect will repeat the route of the parade from 1970. Start thinking about what you would like entered in the parade. We'll be posting more information in the next couple of months.
