The only place in America named Seventy Six will be an opportunity to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary and reflect on the history of the area, which dates to about the time Kentucky became a state.
Native Americans' role will be highlighted by a display and discussion by a local collector. The colorful and contributory history of the community of Seventy Six and the rest of Clinton County will be commemorated by a tour and stories in a printed program that should become a collectible. The contributions of military veterans will be recognized, in part by a panel discussion following the showing of "From Honor to Medal," the KET-aired documentary on the World War II heroism of Lt. Garlin Murl Conner and the successful community effort to get him the Medal of Honor decades after his death.
Other events include golf tournaments, fireworks and free concerts (Chris Knight, Colton Bowlin and Emi Sunshine) at the 76 Falls Country Club, and a 7.6-mile run to Albany from the 76 Falls Recreation Area on Lake Cumberland.
