1976: Exhibitors at the upcoming Curry County Fair were busy preparing entries for the cultural arts division.

That included entries for paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs.

Don McAlavy and Oblong Jones were among the division organizers.

Prizes included $10 for first place, $6 for second place and $4 for third place.

1956: Clovis police made no arrests for the day and received just one criminal complaint.

T. M. Reames of 312 Calhoun filed the complaint. He said someone stole four hubcaps from his 1954 automobile parked in the driveway at his home.
