BOVINA — On Saturday, May 11 at 7 pm, Bovina Town Historian Ray LaFever will host a panel discussion about Bovina in the 1940s and 50s at the Bovina Community Hall in Bovina Center - 1866 County Highway 6. The panelists will be long-time Bovina residents who will share stories of their childhoods in that era, supplemented/prompted by images taken at the time. You’ll hear about the last one room schools, the 1953 flood and the old Scott Bridge, among other topics.

The program will be a fundraiser for the Bovina Historical Society. The $5 suggested donation will aid work on the historical society’s Bovina Museum.
