Time to celebrate! Bradford today celebrated its 150th year of the discovery of oil. Our town was once the largest producer of oil in the US and had a huge population. Drillers came from all around to find that precious high grade crude oil that only our region possessed. As they came so did prosperity. Many hotels, rooming houses, and businesses came with it. I can only imagine our town in its heyday. Here are some pictures from the parade.
The Zippo car
And the parade wouldn’t be complete without……….our own resident clown…Hollywood Helen!
