This week's "Turnback Tuesday" brings us back to "Derby’s 300th" from May 30 to June 8, 1975.
A 10-day celebration filled with activities for all. Old fashioned bargain days at stores, sports events, a parade, fireworks, Silver Tea, soap box derby, square dance, amusement rides, Hats Off to Derby performance, and the list goes on and on.
In this photo you can see Vonetes Palace of Sweets, 300th Headquarters and Howard & Barber on Main Street.
The Derby Public Library has a photo album of this event in our collection, and we'd love for our FB followers to help us identify who is in the photos.
Please contact the Local History Coordinator 203-736-1482 for an appointment. Thank you.
*Thanks go out to Derby Public Library for sharing interesting local history each week!
