John Laird of Claremont Heritage outlined local centennial Route 66 events and donated four custom 'Route 66 — Claremont' signs for installation along the route through the city.

John Laird, president of Claremont Heritage, told the City Council about a series of events to mark the Route 66 centennial, including a local car show in June and an exhibit at the Garner House in September. Laird said Claremont Heritage has made four original Route 66 signs modified to read 'Claremont' and presented them to the city for placement along the short but notable stretch of Route 66 that runs through Claremont.
