The Davenport Achievement Board was designed to support the town’s community center, dedicated July 26, 1976 to highlight Davenport’s Bicentennial celebration in addition to a tennis tournament, “And That’s The Way It Was” Parade, beef barbecue, teen dance and 4-H dress revue. An open house for the center was held that evening.
“Everyone knew any funds raised from (the annual) Achievement Day went for the community center,” board member Whitney Miller said. “We do other fundraisers too, but Achievement Day is the largest.”
