1972: The “second annual edition of Clovis’ revived Pioneer Days celebration” was preparing to kick off a three-day weekend run.
Three rodeo performances were scheduled, along with a Saturday morning parade, “followed by a barbecue on the court house lawn,” the Clovis News-Journal reported.
About 60 entries had been received for the parade.
1972: Tuesday nights were “bank nights” at Clovis’ Boothill Saloon.
The Tuesday night raffle drawing was up to $200.
If no winners were drawn, an additional $50 would be added to the pot.
Boothill patrons also had opportunity to win a bottle of champagne, according to a newspaper ad.
The Boothill was located on East Mabry Drive.
