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.
