Turnback Tuesday remembers the 300th celebration of Derby in 1975.
We [at Derby Public Library] are highlighting some of the buttons used during the celebration which started May 31 and ran through June 8, 1975.
The “Derby” Hat was the logo for the 300th as seen here on the wooden nickel. Two different buttons for the Miss Celebration Belle and the button for the Junior Grade of the Brother of the Brush.
You can see the theme of these buttons with Derby colors of red and white.
*Remember* the Library is looking for memorabilia such as these to add to our collection. Please keep "Hunting for History" so we can preserve the incredible story of Derby.
You can contact us at dplreference@biblio.org.
Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
