Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
On this date ...
1982: Local square dancers were lined up for a good weekend. The Y Squares were scheduled to be dancing at the Clovis YMCA to the calling of Bobby Graham, with rounds cued by longtime local dance teachers Daryle and Bobbie Stephens.
The following evening, veteran Portales caller James Pettus was lined up to dish out the “do-si-dos” at the regular gathering of the Circle 8 Square Dance Club at James Bickley Elementary in Clovis.
1967: The Walker family members of Phoenix were designated “Tourists of the Month” by the Clovis Jaycees.
The family of four received a complimentary night’s stay at the Rodeway Inn, dinner at K-Bob’s Steakhouse, breakfast at Denny’s Restaurant, and a box of candy from Roden Smith Rexall Drug.
In addition, Mrs. Walker was gifted with a can of “hair set” from Robearl’s Coiffures, and the family car was fueled up for free by Ingram Bros. Oil Co.
The lucky travelers also won a “free phone call to anywhere in the United States” from Mountain States Telephone Co., and an “evening of entertainment” from Dog N Suds Miniature Golf.
