Commission signs letter of support for Lawrence Welk Show 70th-anniversary recognition
Summary
A county resident asked the commission to approve a proclamation or letter of support marking the 70th anniversary of the Lawrence Welk Show’s national debut; commissioners voted to approve a letter of support and asked the resident to supply a draft.
A county resident seeking statewide recognition for the 70th anniversary of the Lawrence Welk Show’s national television debut asked commissioners for a county proclamation or letter of support.
The resident explained the show's ties to North Dakota and the cultural aim to preserve awareness across generations. He said he had reached out to the governor's office, several congressional staff and had secured 15 counties that had already approved letters or proclamations.
Commissioners asked whether the county would provide a proclamation or a letter of support; the resident said either would be acceptable and offered to send a draft letter. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a letter of support and asked the resident to supply a draft for staff signature.
