join the residents of the City of Sansom Park on the occasion of
its 60th anniversary; and

the great cattle drives to the stockyards, lively events along

rapidly growing population, and on March 24, 1949, Sansom Park

an exemplary place in which to live, work, and raise a family;
now, therefore, be it
