Talbot Library and Museum will host their annual Book and Bake Sale. We expect to be hosting several musicians,  as well as offering homemade hamburger dinners for sale. There will be authors having book signings in the historical Springtown Schoolhouse on the property as well.

For the first time, Talbot’s will also host representatives of the Colcord Post Office, offering for sale commemorative ‘Old Settler’s Day, Colcord, OK 1929-2014” pre-stamped, postmarked envelopes. This will be a unique remembrance of this special day, as well as a valuable item for collectors.

The annual Colcord Picnic has been held since 1929, celebrating the community and the pioneers who settled the area. Prior to 1928, the community was known as Row, a post office was established there in 1903. The town was later named after Charles F. Colcord, a prominent Oklahoman and benefactor to the community.

There will be many events throughout town all day, parade, hog fry, crafts, music, etc. The Colcord Rodeo will be held nightly June 6 and 7.
