March 18, 1921 - A gay celebration was held on this date in honor of the Bridge Completion Day. Voting was done and a girl, Emma Abbott, was selected to reign over the festivities. She drove the last spike in the bridge, and was given a gold locket. The bridge was dedicated by Patriach Joseph Earl. A Barbeque was enjoyed while the Dixie Orchestra played. At that time, the river was from 30 to 100 feet wide.
