1961: Organizers of the Clovis Cattle Festival declared their annual event was the “most successful ever,” according to the Clovis News-Journal.
Clovis Stockyards Association President Dick Worley said the festival's net loss was 7 cents. Previous festivals had cost the CSA up to $700, he said.
The newspaper reported attendance at the festival's social activities hit a record high and the number of show cattle was almost double the previous year. No numbers were provided.
The CSA elected Tommy Klebold its president and selected C.D. Kelley vice president. Mildred Ingle was re-elected secretary-treasurer.
