- Description:
- The Broken Bow Dam and Reservoir was dedicated in a ceremony attended by 500-700 people, including guest speaker Carl Albert. Albert praised the potential of the area's water resources and encouraged growth. The dam was built with tax dollars from all 50 states and was dedicated to a free and beautiful America. Albert, a potential candidate for Speaker of the House, discussed the history of upstream dams in the area and the fight for their construction. Various special guests were introduced, and the dedication was a crowd-pleasing event. The ceremony included performances by the Broken Bow high school band and emphasized the importance of taking care of the new reservoir.
