Stolen Cars Recovered on our Information 2

We failed to come up with anything on 21 reports of stolen

merchandise; therefore, I would say we had a "fair" year.

Although we had plenty of help during the Bicentennial week,

I believe it was the cooperation of the general public which madethe week so easy for us.

1 do wish to thank Pat Patterson and his 30 volunteers.

Trooper Pryor, and his 3 members of the State Police, and

Sheriff Martineau and his 3 deputies for their help during the

Bicentennial Week. We would have been sunk without them, but

as it was, the most left for us to do was "get tired".

BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE

REPORT FOR TOWN REPORT

To Our Fellow Townspeople:

As you can see from reading the financial statement in this

town report, we feel that the Bicentennial Celebration was a

financial as well as a community success.

The town advanced the Committee $2,000.00 for preliminary

expenses and we are now asking for $1,207.00 to balance the

Bicentennial account. However, we are turning over the merchandise

consisting of Coins, Plates, Bottles, Cards, and towels, to the

Town Library, said merchandise having a retail value of nearly

$5,000.00.The articles to be sold for the benefit of the Library.

Therefore, we expect the town to eventually realize some$2,000.00 profit from the Bicentennial Celebration.

As your Co-Chairmen, representing the other members of the

Executive Committee, we would like to thank the people of

Colebrook and the North Country for contributing to the success

of our Two-Hundredth Anniversary.

From far and near, Colebrook has received congratulations

for having hosted the most spectacular celebration ever put on

by this or any other town. This has been wonderful publicity

and the North Country is certain to benefit from the increased

tourism.

We enjoyed working with our sub-committees and with our

sub-committees and with our neighbors who put so much effort

into this fine and historic occasion. We feel that it was a great

honor to have been chosen to represent our town during the

momentous year of nineteen seventy, and we of the executive

committee will always consider it a highlight of our lives.
