Christmas Parade 1998

WCSC participated for the first time in the 1998 Bartlesville Christmas Parade. Teresa Dietz volunteered to be in charge of creating a float which helped celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Club. Teresa did a fantastic job and the entire Club is very appreciative of her efforts.

We were fortunate to have Neal Lehman, WCSC President in 1980, participate with us in this inaugural event. Thanks Neal for helping us celebrate our 20th anniversary!
